Isopycnic Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 So much for tubing the Dan this morning. What a silly idea that was! I've walked that river dragging tubes and coolers during times of low water periods. In fact one time we got out at around 11pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelMountain Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 With rain overnight, I passed the 20 inch mark, and it's still raining heavily. Because the storms have been stretched out, I've had no serious flooding around here. The creeks remain high, and there's no kayaking on the Broad River, but the sun always finds a way to dry everything up. Haven't seen mosquitoes yet. Not usually a problem around these parts anyway. Here's a pic I made just north of me Thursday evening after a heavy shower passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion_NC_WX Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 An absolute disaster currently going on for parts of Catawba and Lincoln Counties...13-plus inches of rain recorded in some areas. Major flooding going on even for those not close to rivers or streams. Major urban flooding which has closed a lot of roads in the Newton-Conover area and parts of Hickory itself. And the worst part in all of this is that another surge of heavy precip is moving back in from the southwest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Based off the trajectory of the storms in that latest radar loop, I'm thinking the worst of it may be heading just slightly more east of the area that has received the heaviest rain. Or not. We'll see. I just reached 7 inches of rain IMBY. Simply incredible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Some short video from MBY this morning. The backyard was inches deep in water. Change to HD to get best quality.

WxJordan Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Registered just under 5 inches of rain this morning.... Now I am 4 inches of rain above what I should receive each year! I have had over 25 inches of rain in June and July. Absolutely amazing. I took a video of the clouds as the rain moved in. Quality is not great, but you get the idea. Slow moving clouds producing heavy rain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAtZKZUviAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I managed 7.13 inches of rainfall in the final tally for the day. I had two different 10-minute intervals where I recorded more than half an inch of rain. That's better than a 3-inches-per-hour rate! I didn't quite record the foot-plus totals just to the SW, but it was still a record-breaking day for MBY. What a storm system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarvelMountain Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I feel for our friends in the central Piedmont. Wow! I got another inch this morning after my last post to bring my July total to 21 inches, but that's NOTHING compared to a foot just today! Here's a pic I made about an hour ago over Lake Lure and Rumbling Bald Mountain. Here at Otter Creek, it's just starting to drizzle. Here goes!

Marion_NC_WX Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 It got nasty IMBY around 8 pm...I picked up 1.5 in about 35 minutes. Water was flowing everywhere.

NavarreDon Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Sorry I haven't been posting guys, things have been killer at work. Our precip has slowed down the last few days & we have somewhat dried out. We did pick up .42" early this morning in about 15 minutes as we got a glancing blow from a thunder storm. We are now at 11.38" for July. (hoping we can get to 12" by Wed. night) this almost doubles our wettest month (Dec. 2012) in the 10.5 years I have lived here. Our 36.17" for the year already exceeds my yearly average over the last 10 yrs by .17" with 5 more calender months remaining. I think unless there is a dramatic pattern shift I will smash my best year which was almost 41". Some of the totals from the escarpment area for the month are staggering.....20"-30" July totals! They had a farmer on WLOS the other day whose corn crop was devastated by 2 different events. One was 4" in a little under 2 hrs & the next was 6" in a little over 2.5 hrs. The only time I can remember it raining like it has this month is when I lived in Franklin in the early to mid 80's. The Spring rains where tremendous back then both in rate & longevity. I remember hwy 28 flooding multiple times & even hwy 441 flooding. Well of course like most on the board my big hope is that this moisture makes it into Dec,Jan,Feb, & we have snowfall amounts like 09-10, 10-11. Wow got it right with this thread title & this year will be one I remember for a long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
