kvegas-wx Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Radar is loaded for the triad now. Just drove back from VA through Danbury and Walnut Cove. Lots of big branches coming out of trees into the roads. Lots of road flooding out of ditches. The Dan River was as high as I have seen in a long while and there will be inches of rain still to fall over the next day or so. Gonna get ugly. Also, Forsyth County schools 2 hr delay tomorrow.

Iceagewhereartthou Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Almost a non-event in my area! Breezy yesterday, but never more than 15-20 mph, and less than inch of rain, and its pretty much over here. Fine with me though, tired of rain, less clean up, READY FOR FALL!!!

gman Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 We ended up with 1.8" of slow steady rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 A little over 10” here, about 25 miles removed from the 12-15” totals and 30 miles south 20” plus. Creek is still in flood stage and dumping some water in to the back 40, Tar basin dodged a bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gritsnc Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I've tried attaching photos but it keeps telling me they are too large. We have a tiny stream in our backyard that has been dried up for a long time until this summer. In August it flooded really bad. I have a feeling it is going to flood our entire backyard like it did in August. We decided to have a little fun when it first began to fill up this afternoon.

Kristospherein Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 8.5 inches here in southern/SE Mecklenburg (12 miles south of Charlotte) for the entirety of the storm (6 inches today). Local elementary USGS rain gauge says 9.1 inches. Would be in between a 100 and 500-year storm for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds are really picking up here and I’ve lost several shingles from my roof. Water is rising. If I said I wasn’t nervous, I’d be lying. #HurricanceFlorence #Florence His account came back on, but seems that either the whole thing was fake, or someone got hold of his account since it went off the air. Too bad. I was enjoying reading the posts. Reason I checked back was a tweet from MHX indicating there was not much damage on Ocracoke.

Ander Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Tornado warning in Chapel Hill, Durham, Hillsborough area. Just torrential rain most of the night and strong thunderstorms the last few hours. WRAL just showed 3 inches an hour rainfall here. Wild stuff. Lots of flooding locally right in middle of kids going to school here. Crazy the one day they have school is during the worst weather here.

calculus1 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I ended up with 4.99 inches of rainfall for Friday through this morning. (Perhaps I'll get one more one hundredth of an inch of rainfall later today to bring it to an even 5 inches.) So, the truly epic rainfall amounts showing up on several runs of both the GFS and ECMWF for my area never materialized. I'm good with that. Unfortunately, those to my south and east seemed to pick up the extra rainfall that I didn't get. What a horrible disaster this is for SE NC and NE SC.

Reedski Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 We were really spared in Columbia. Only got 3.5 inches of rain and no real damage anywhere to be seen. Just small limb and leaf debris. After the flood of 2015 everyone took the forecast seriously thankfully. Thoughts are definitely with those who are in the affected areas.

HKY_WX Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Ended up with 5.5" here and I think we gusted into the low 50's on Friday. I saw several small trees and large limbs down around my area when I was able to get out of the house this weekend. Radar estimates show most of the area within a 15 mile radius of me picked up 6 to 8. So I was just shy of that. Overall a lot of rain, but pales in comparison to what's going on down east...

NCSNOW Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 The Deep River hit a all time record Crest last night. The final chapter for Florence is fixing to be written this week, espeacilly SE NC for river flooding. Hate it for those along the Cape Fear, espeacilly in Wilmington as it will be pushing all time record flood crest. The forecast for 6 to 10 across Randolph unfortunately materialized.

wncsnow Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 The Dan River here in Danville is going to push its record high at this gauge. Keep in mind this gauge has only been in place for about 25 years so it didn't get the floods of the 1970's. We have had about 4.5 inches of rain here but upstream got anywhere between 7 and 10. South Boston, VA will get it really bad with flooding and a lot of downtown will be underwater by tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still has a ways to go to hit the ~80K CFS mark from 1945, but it's still the second highest flow since the USGS gauge was installed in the 1930s. Currently at 61K and rising quickly. There are river flow records broken or soon to be broken all over NC this week. That 1945 flood, also resulting from a tropical system, was what ultimately led to the construction of B. Everett Jordan Lake in Moncure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Wilmington NC has officially had its wettest year on record going back to 1871. Still has over 3 months to go. Currently sitting at 86.22The state Record is in the Mountains. Roseman has that claim to fame at 129.6 set in 1964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilgore Trout Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 My friends have a house on the Black River near Ivanhoe, NC. It sits on a bluff around 20-25 feet above it. Floyd got to the top off the bluff. Matthew got to the base of their house. And now the river gauge is showing a foot higher than Matthew. Unbelievable that this area has seen historic flooding 3 times in the last 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
