London, Great Britain averages 23.69 inches of rain a year!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordoFabulous Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yes sir. Ryan posted it on Twitter so I'll go ahead and post: If that verifies, it would be interesting to compare the volume of water that falls on SC to the volume of water in one of the Great Lakes. Hoping someone thinks to look into this when it is done. Stay safe, everyone.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Not sure that GFS will verify. Seeing various model output of keeping the heavier biblical rains away from the central midlands or not happening as a whole. Not sure it really matters at this point. According to the GFS, we should be getting absolutely crushed imby right now and it's pretty calm... a big 7 inch + amount showed up between 2-8 am we will see... stronger band coming from the South of me currently.. heavy.

Hey Shawn, good to see you are still up and at it with the weather in the midlands. I pray and hope the other model output is accurate and we don't see anything close to the near 25" totals you referenced. It's just light rain here in Columbia, downtown vicinity.

goldman75 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Very scary drive last night on my way to work through north Myrtle beach. Multiple spots on the road like this with white water racing across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yeah a place near Black Mountain has already confirmed like 23 inches in the past 6 days according to Jason Boyer and the NWS. Can you share the post Jason did? I looked up the area using Contrail and the best i could find was 11" for the past 7 days, with most of the area only picking up 6 - 8". I want to share that bit of info but need to see it before i can post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No snow for you Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I guess it is slower in the turn. Still not much for gsp but prayers for cola and Charlotte. Just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxduncan Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I guess it is slower in the turn. Still not much for gsp but prayers for cola and Charlotte. Just wow. We still have our share to come in western NC and upstate SC. Here is a map just released from GSP these are future totals not what already has fallen keep that in mind.

strongwxnc Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 already obtained 1.70" in two days. So, if this map stands, would put me around the 6"+ mark.

I got 0.71 yesterday and so far since 12:00am last night I'm up to 1.29nches. So I'm already at 2 inches if GSP is correct with that map should easily get 5-6inches total.For me that sounds great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxFreak11 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 This is going to be just an historic event here in Charleston. Charleston County has already had 3-7 inches with an additional 6-12 forecasted.. This really will be a life threatening event if people aren't smart. Use your heads folks and go to higher ground while you can and if you are safe at home..stay there. Hight tide here around 1:00pm so things will be going downhill quickly. Be safe out there.

kvegas-wx Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Its almost like Joaquin says "if I cant make landfall on you South Carolina, I will bury your azz with my rains". Looking at that little tail from Joaquin on radar is just nuts. Ties right into Charleston. Never seen anything quite like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
