IsentropicLift Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 ugly stretch for you, epic cold and snows, and then warm/hot and bone dry once that ended... See I don't mind the cold and snow when it's appropriate, like between Christmas and President's Day. I love a good snow storm just like most of the rest of us but I don't understand the obsession with bitter cold or snow packs. I find both of them as useful as **** on a bull.

jm1220 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Severe T-storm warning now for hail. This storm is practically stationary-only crawling north. A mile or two south of where I am is getting crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see how strong the vertical wind shear is just by looking at the radar with cloud debris moving West to East and the cell moving from South to North.

jm1220 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Storm is pulsing down but more are firing over the Hill Country in a place to feed the rivers which flooded already. 2" of rain fell in the town of Manchaca which is a south Austin suburb.

Relief is coming once you get through this upcoming weekend. All the globals show the rain focus shifting East of the Mississippi river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seeing the convection and hearing the thunder is the main show. Torrential rain is also different from stratiform rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 What's so fun about rain? You can't make a rain man or throw rain balls. Classic post. Super insanely heavy rain is cool. I'm talking cloud burst type stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Massive flooding events like what's been happening here are certainly interesting to me, but rain to me is mehh. Watching puddles grow != watching drifts grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching puddles grow != watching drifts grow. I have to admit that if I didn't live near a river my obsession would be a lot smaller. Part of the thrill for me is the flooding and the flash flooding that occurs in my town. It's not that I'm wishing for damage or loss of life, it's equivalent to enjoying tornado outbreaks even though you know tornadoes can kill people.

Before then my LB record was 5.15 in under 2hrs in June 95.That one knocked the LB water system out with long lines for Poland Spring at Waldbaums before they sold out.Would have liked to have be in the Islip deluge last summer to see what those rainfall rates were like.

It was the first time that people couldn't get out of Long Beach from rainfall flooding since many streets leading to the bridges were impassable without stalling your car out.

Rjay Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 8/11/14...there used to be more videos on it but I can't find many. So I posted a couple with radars, flooding in SI and one showing the set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people experienced flooding from that rainfall followed by tidal flooding from Irene a few weeks later. I took this shot of one of the unlucky people who had a slope down driveway and basement. You can see the refrigerator floating through the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I was chest deep in the storm surge during Irene in Freeport. People that I know in Long beach and Island Park just finished repairing the damages from the August 2011 flooding when Sandy hit. Slope down driveways proved to be one of the worst building designs in Long Beach. If you are ever looking at real estate in Long Beach, run the other way as fast as you can if someone wants to sell or rent you one of those properties that are common throughout the city. Right after Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Rain is interesting if the rates are high and / or it's associated with a T-storm. Stratiform rain is only interesting if it's significant in amounts, i.e., 2"+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
