Man, this is bringing back some very unpleaseant local memories of Fay.

"The highest recorded discharge from any inland Florida spring is 1,910 ft3/s (1,234 Mgal/d), measured at Wakulla Springs." That was recorded in 1974. Average is 391 ft3/sec.

http://fl.water.usgs.gov/PDF_files/fs15 ... echler.pdf

We're currently approaching 1,700 ft3/s there:

Euro is much worse, 943mb well east of the Carolinas @192. It has become the new CMC with tropical cyclones.I suppose anythings possible 8 days out, though I'd take dissapated over Cat3.

Obviously ridiculous, but I've always believed ECMWF was better at sniffing out TC size rather than strength. Generally, the lower the pressure depicted on the ECMWF, but larger the cyclone -- but not necessarily the stronger.

So... Debby has made me make an entirely new absurd color table for rainfall.... So here's my 40" color table..

2.5 Days.. 31" of detected rain...

Don't take the totals verbatim, radar estimation is very imprecise.

That being said we are seeing crazy amounts, 18.5" since midnight in Sanborn which is the highest I can find, so probably 2 feet of rain storm total with Debby in the worst hit spots around that area (I recall ~6" in that part of the panhandle yesterday).

You willing to share that color table?

Yeah sure, lemme add some tag lines and I'll PM you in a few minutes

Understood,TLH isn't DP either which would probably help in this situation with ZDR.

...A FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY CONTINUES FOR WAKULLA COUNTY...

AT 1007 PM EDT...EXTREME FLASH FLOODING CONTINUES ACROSS WAKULLA COUNTY...PARTICULARLY ALONG THE SOPCHOPPY RIVER INCLUDING THE TOWN OF SOPCHOPPY. WATER HAS ALREADY ENTERED HOMES IN SOPCHOPPY AND THE SOPCHOPPY RIVER IS EXPECTED TO CREST FAR ABOVE ITS PREVIOUS RECORD CREST.

THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION AND MANY AREAS THAT HAVE NOT FLOODED IN RECENT MEMORY WILL FLOOD TONIGHT.

Looks to me as if heavy rain fall in the Florida panhandle is spreading west some and the fetch from the gulf is starting to increase again. Really a unique rain fall producing storm some could end up with 30+ by the time this ends.

Scary part is, there's already some areas close to, or over 30 inches, storm total. I don't even want to think what some of these totals could be. It could be as bad, or worse then Allison.

Yes this is a very VERY dangerous situation it is bad enough it is not moving much. Now we wait and see how far west theses heavy rain fall bands spread and then how long Debby stays in the gulf. If it decides to stay here a few more days it would get much worse before any better down there.

As someone mentioned before Debby could be retired for rain fall frankly I agree however I do not think it will be completely due to what is going on on now. What she does down the road could help aid the chance of Debby being retired. For instance if it sits over the gulf another day or 2 then goes into the Atlantic and becomes a hurricane effecting the east coast or OBX the chance of the NHC retiring it would be much greater.

I really think Debby has a good chance of becoming a hurricane once she gets into the Atlantic due to lower shear and warm water temps Question is does it go up the coast, effect only obx, go out to sea or get stuck and do car wheels which is less likely but still a possibility. Interesting week that is for sure.

Listening to Wakulla County Emergency services, the problem now isn't so much the rain as the swamps are doing their job of retaining and slowly releasing but trees are coming down everywhere because the ground is soup and any little wind gust is knocking them down on powerlines and threatening dwellings.
