WNC_Fort Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 1.2 inches in the gauge this morning but, after the event we had this weekend, that was more than enough to create a pond in the backyard again. Should be an interesting weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 0.69" overnight. Storm total 0.78" For the purposes of this observation thread, are we considering this event as starting Oct. 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 For the purposes of this observation thread, are we considering this event as starting Oct. 1?I would. I think the random storms and flooding that hit Wednesday night, will aid in problems, but just for this thread, maybe just go with 10/1 or even 10/2?

Solak Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I can't be that specific... all I got is the cocorahs gauge, ans their reporting is screwy enough as it is. Rains on Thursday, counts as a Friday report... But that's banter. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 This is from Spartanburg, SC. That was from Wednesday night. They had some storms rain themselves out. There was a car dealership ( new) that had about 40-60 cars destroyed! The water came up to the bottom of the windows and the loss of inventory was about 2.5 million!

From the looks of it I would say that was one or more of those large metal culverts. Some engineer underestimated the flow in severe events and this is the result.

mackerel_sky Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 If somebody could post the rpm animation? In here or the flooding page!? It's pure insanity! Cantore just showed it and specifically mentioned Greenville, Columbia and Athens! Said he is very concerned for this area, and for people going to the Clemson game tomorrow ! They said on our local news that they expect 300,000+ people to be around the stadium tomorrow , because ESPNs College Gameday will be broadcasting from there! CGD said they will be there no matter what and are already set up. Clemson says they are planning on playing the game, but will cancel if the weather seems to be a danger to their fans or players! Rain has stopped here for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone jokes about SC roads, they are bad and seems as if they may cut some corners, guess we will see what happens the next 48 hrs? Atleast we have cheap gas and no vehicle inspections! Winning!

It happens a lot. Many years ago in Boone they decided to cover and pipe "Kraut Creek" that ran through the ASU campus and use the area gained for parking. While the engineers with their clipboards were directing the placement of the large culverts, old mountain dudes in their bib overalls would gather shaking their heads and saying there was no way those pipes were big enough. The engineers, of course, disagreed. Less than a year later a storm came through that totally ripped every section up out of the ground and in the process destroyed numerous cars, flooded the gymnasium and took out the two roads that ran across the creek.

NEGa Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 1.6 here so far (i starting checking last night about bed time). after all the rain the last couple of weeks, yards are already getting water covered, as are the roads. if we end up getting the heavier amounts it could certainly be interesting, to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
