norcarolinian Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 whew what a night ... work at the Embassy Suites in Greensboro and we had water flooding the entire 1st floor ... no power in hotel ... water coming through the ceilings in the restaurant, bar, kitchen, accounting office, etc ... spent 2 hours pushing water back outside ... finally off work just to find roads closed all over the city ... i live in Oak Ridge ... and not a drop of rain had fallen at the house ... not wishing for more rain for GSO but northwest Guilford Co. still needs it ...

calculus1 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I picked up 0.68 inch overnight during a storm between 1 and 2 AM. Very heavy rain. I didn't bother to turn on the computer at the time, so I'm not sure whether the storms were back-building from the ones that had been affecting G'boro for the past several hours, or if new storms were popping up and drifting east over the foothills. Anyway, it was a nice surprise. I went to bed thinking we had been left out of the rain, but was woken up to the great sound of heavy rain on the roof.

Wow Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I picked up 0.68 inch overnight during a storm between 1 and 2 AM. Very heavy rain.

Anyway, it was a nice surprise. I went to bed thinking we had been left out of the rain, but was woken up to the great sound of heavy rain on the roof. Same here.. and it was a heavy rain which went on for well over an hour. I'm pretty sure we topped at least an inch. I need to get another rain gauge.

Lookout Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 1.87" here. great storm, tons of lightning, even lost power for an hour or so. Most rain at once since April. Was missed twice yesterday. Late in the afternoon and after midnight last night, had a storm moving toward us only to fall apart before it got here and esentially ended up with nothing. (few hundredths). In other words the same old lookout screwzone effect. Even when it looked like it was going to rain both times, I just knew it wouldn't with an almost 100% certainty...and of course I was right.

EmersonGA Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I picked up .5" from the storm last night. The lightning had died down by the time it hit us but it rained as hard as I've seen it for awhile. There might have been some hail mixed in judging by the sound but it was too dark to tell.

jburns Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 CAE picked up a whopping 3.29 last night and mby ended up with 1.53 Nice. A mere .42 total back home even though just a few miles north Greensboro got hammered. They even had to close I-40 for a while. Down here at the beautiful N Grand Strand just a trace. Pretty lightning show though. Nothing like nighttime lightning at the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 19 straight days of 90+ in Atlanta. It sure would be nice if we could get in a wet pattern to end this heat wave ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Getting pounded here at Myrtle Beach. Lots of cloud to ground lightning, torrential rains but almost no wind. Flood warning issued. Doppler estimate over 2" so far and a lot more on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 If I miss out on this one (radar has fooled Lyman for the last 3 days), I'm calling bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 When did 'dinner time' become an official meterological term? If I hold off dinner until 9:00, will that make the rain last longer? What if I eat supper and not dinner? Catching just the edge of another thundershower right now... bulk of the precip sliding just to the South of us, but it's raining just enough to kick us out of the yard. IN GENERAL...EXPECT CONVECTION TO BECOME MORE NUMEROUS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...PEAKING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY BEFORE DINNER TIME. THE BULK OF THE DEEP CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH AROUND OR JUST A LITTLE AFTER DINNER TIME ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 definitely liking the return to storms again. had a pretty big one move through a little while ago with a lot of thunder and lightning. picked up 1.24" of rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonA Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Dime-sized hail over 285 on Atlanta's northside in the last 15 minutes - rush hour's down to a crawl. (per my husband who's called to say he'll be late) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Wowweeee!! A most impressive thunderstorm was experienced over the Dunwoody area just north of Atlanta during the last hour or so...probably the most impressive of this year to date for me although I haven't been in Dunwoody much til recently. Torrential rains, very strong, gusty winds (probably close to 50 mph at strongest), intense CTG lightning, and, most interestingly, a good 15 minutes or so of small hail. Power was out a couple of times for up to a couple of minutes. Is Tony somehow responsible for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously dark clouds, ton of lightning of to my SW right now. Hope to get some small hail but I'll be ecstatic about the rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm going to be careful what I ask for... that must be a mess in those Southeastern NC counties, with that slow moving band of showers and storms dropping 2"/hour. I'll take my rain in moderation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
