I was going through my folder for the 3/14/17 blizz and man the lead up to that event was awesome! If that storm went 50-75 miles E we would have been talking 24-36" amounts instead of the widespread 20-24" up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Ha you guys beat me again today, mesonet says I got .01" at the local stations. Tomorrow looks dry and OKX has lowered the chances for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Not one of my favorite storms. To get almost 3" of liquid without any mixing and not break 20" is a pretty huge fail. Tracking it was the best part of the whole event... though I suppose that's true more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and I got into that dry slot, 20.0" total. It did have some of the best blizzard conditions I've ever experienced though for a while. My concerns now turn to OBX and that power outage, I'm slated to head down there on 8/5, hopefully they have the materials on hand to get it fixed quick.

I put it slightly ahead of the Feb 2014 event atleast for my immediate area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they issued a State of emergency down there and have restricted the visitors. And the power could be out for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we had blizzard conditions for three hours with the sustained winds that were recorded at KSWF. That does not happen up this way too often.

This will hurt them economically. Luckily we have trip insurance as well. I ran some rough numbers. There's 7,700 customers out and let's say 3,500 of those are rental houses. Using a total guess of an average house cost this time of year of $5,000 for a week if folks miss next week there's lost revenue of $17.5 million in just house fees. So yeah, this could hurt them big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found out that Hatteras Island, where our house is, is not under the mandatory evacuation so we have that going for us. Worst case scenario we load up my generator next Friday night and bring it down to keep the food and beer cold. They are installing various large portable generators but I believe there will still be rolling blackouts even once they all are online. This afternoon they are slated to announce how big, and long, of a repair it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 So, looks like we stay dry up here tomorrow. My p&c still says 40% chance of wet but it sure doesn't look that way to me. Thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight's sunset was epic due to the cirrus outflow from the storm and I suspect sunrise tomorrow could follow suit... might head down to Constitution Marsh or somewhere nearby for some shots if the sat loop looks decent at 4 am. A comforting thought... with July ending shortly, snow prospects start becoming plausible in just three months. August should fly right by thanks to the eclipse and then we're home free.

gravitylover Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I like popcorn especially when it helps to keep the soil moisture up We just had two little t-storms pop and dampen things and most importantly left us with a great rainbow highlighted against a towering cloud bank.

IrishRob17 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 A bunch of up and downs with my OBX trip since last Friday but I feel confident now that we'll be able to go next week the only question is if we can get in there Saturday as planned or have to wait a day or two. Maybe I'll get "crushed" in some storms today, maybe not, but I can guarantee I'll be crushin' it at the beach and poolside at some point in the near future. Hoping to be able to see some more water spouts down there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
