mattskiva Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Finished with a storm total of 4.87" here. Just missed the 5" mark. There is a new stream in my yard that did not exist when I went to bed last night. Just got to the office - was going to work from home, but I have no power and no land line working at home. Of course, our land lines go out every time it rains. Thank you, Verizon. Several bridges flooded around Manassas/Catharpin near my house (Bull Run bridges). The retention pond behind Dulles on 606 was flooded all the way up to the road. I have never seen it that high. There was a tractor trailer flipped over on the Dulles Access Road when I drove by - just inside the last entry point off the toll road - and the access road is now backed up like 8 miles. I am sure there are lots of angry people in that traffic jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 The retention pond behind Dulles on 606 was flooded all the way up to the road. I have never seen it that high. The only other time I've seen that was after the June 2006 rains. Once the water receded, you could see the high water mark up in the trees, and it was probably 6-8 feet above it's usual level.

WEATHER53 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 That was pretty speciaal last night. From 11:30-1:30 I had lightning every 3-5 seconds and some periods it was near constant. Also had lengthy periods where before the rumble of thunder died out another one began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't start raining until close to 4am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 its been moving back west Individual echoes were moving west, but the western edge of the precip was moving east up until the last couple hours or so.

SlowerLowerDE Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 6 inches of water on the ground in Millville, DE. Dude just kayaked down the road. Yes, it's flooded over here. We were camping at Trap Pond state park. Our campsite flooded badly so we brought the RV home. My hubby took a photo of the campsite if I can get it on here I will.

Just waiting for the pivot now. http://climate.cod.edu/flanis/nexrad.php?type=LWX-N0Q-1-200 It's been a weird summer. Last weekend, we had the high retrograding from the EAST to dry us out temporarily. Now this. Would be nice to get back into a more progressive flow, with stuff going west to east like normal.

FrederickWX Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 So a question... we had the Bermuda high retrograding on shore from the Atlantic last weekend (before being pushed back out to the east). Now, we have an upper low retrograding west through the midwest and eventually to the great plains, and high pressure off shore also retrograding west. Why? I'm interested in the meteorological reasons as to why this is happening now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
