Been bailing water for about 2 hours. Didn't you hope for this rain because of how "very much dry" it was? Not trying to make fun of you're situation, just saying be careful what you wish for.

Not sure where it was but I had a good laugh when I heard that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 any idea on an updated total from the monsoon capital of the East Coast (Chatsworth, NJ)? IDK about Chatsworth, but the RAWS (Remote Automated Weather Station) at Coyle Field east of Chatsworth along Route 72 reported 7.09" of rain from 12Z yesterday through 12Z today. http://raws.wrh.noaa...=CTWN4&time=GMT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormspotterlive Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Up to 6.5 inches total since Sunday night just got yet another inch of rain from this round. Looks to me like the worst maybe done for awhile however Pw's are still ridiculously high and Convergence map shows no sign of letting up for awhile.

SouthernNJ Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I did not even leave my house and it was very entertaining. At about 5 PM the storm passed a few miles away and I almost went after it to look at the cloud formation. Things were busy and I stayed to look at the radar some more. My friend from the AC Expressway which gave me a report of the spinning storm which wrecked the Absegami HS graduation in June had just called and was on his way home, asking me of the weather up here. I mentioned a heavy rain producer with some rotation near Paulsboro/Westville. He would get off early to avoid the rain, but I called back 3 minutes later when the SVR was issued. He then decided to follow the highway up to the storm. I mentioned that the circulation was near where all the roadways meet, near Bellmawr. He pulled off the highway near a church in Bellmawr and looked up into the storm, which did have, from his view, a "spaceship" look to it. All of a sudden, the spinning clouds descended all at once to the ground from his report. He did not see a narrow funnel as such, but it could have been inside of the low-level meso as it plunged downward. He said it happened very fast, and managed to get a couple of phone pics, but I'm sure some locals got some videos of it. A few passerby mentioned to him in the parking lot "Did you just see that tornado"!? It sounds like it may have been one as it crossed into Mt. Ephraim, with trees down all over the place. The timing of the rapid meso lowering was between 625 and 630, right around when the TOR was issued. It becamed shrouded in rain after it passed Bellmawr, so it may still have produced as it moved on. Anyway, I am excited that I vectored someone right to the exact location of the event. He claims it's as close to a tornado as he will ever get. Although he does want to wait for a confirmation first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
