arlwx Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Finally back to a computer. Almost got flooded out in an underpass on a 395 SB ramp, but somehow I swam the car through in the wake of an SUV. Going where it went. I got to the Harris Teeters in Shirlington, parked, went up to the fourth floor- and saw Four Mile Run over its banks and maybe 5-7 feet below a triple tree near that intersection. USGS was registering it at 8460 cubic feet a second, higher than anything in the last 120 days by far. Gage height 15.06. Accumulated precipitation almost 3 inches. Cameron Run got to 13200 cubic feet a second, 15.61 feet (any fish on the Beltway?). DCA appears to have reported 3.35 inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potvinsux Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Humans are plain dumb. I saw so many drive through swift water and have their vehicles get pushed sideways. I understand there are times you have nowhere to go but these were choices they made instead of turning around. Plain stupid. Took me 2 hours to get home from Arlington to Ashburn. Lewinsville road, McGarity, Old Dominion, Leesburg Pike all closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09-10 analogy Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 My street was a mini-river from curb to curb in upper NW. That's only happened a couple of times since I've lived here. One of last August's cloudbursts, June 2006, maybe one or two others I've forgot. And I'm nowhere near any stream or creek. Amazingly, only a little bit of water in the basement. When I went down there earlier, I was expecting to spend my morning dancing with the water vac. Fortunately, as another poster said, it didn't train like 6/06.

frd Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Looks like the odds are increasing for a mid-month heat wave. GFS and EPS seem to concur. Also, bake those Western Atlantic SSTs even further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Easily the heaviest rainfall I've ever experienced...pictures coming out of various neighborhoods in Arlington was pretty crazy. Roaring rapids video was nuts along Four Mile Run in Shirlington at the dog park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
