luckyweather Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 1996 Aurora, IL type deluge in Tennessee. Yikes17” in 24 hours, broke the old state record by 3”. Reading some of the accounts of how fast some creeks rose - unimaginable to me. One person was in a building 400’ from a creek that they said had never left its banks and within a minute was at roof level standing on things to gasp for air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading some of the accounts of how fast some creeks rose - unimaginable to me. One person was in a building 400’ from a creek that they said had never left its banks and within a minute was at roof level standing on things to gasp for air. They had nearly ten inches of rain in three hours. That site where the record was broken was just a few miles upstream from Waverly, where at least 20 of the deaths were and many of the missing are. No wonder that creek rose like it did. That building was a grocery store and the pics I have seen of it now...a damn mess. It looks like the water level was at least six feet high or more in there. Also amazing to see brick houses demolished and broken apart by floodwaters. Not just the usual suspects(mobile homes, unanchored older houses, etc.)washed away or destroyed in this. The dirty water mark level in the remains of one broken open brick house was about 1 foot below the ceiling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 17" of rain is insane. In my lifetime I think about 7" is the most Cedar Rapids has received (and that was at least several hours). It has been thirteen years since our last 5" rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't talk to the svr part for everyone, but the chances are there, especially my way. Edit: Added map for my thinking. Came close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sojitodd Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I don't want 2-4 inches of rain from the remnants of Ida. Maybe an inch or so but not that much. I don't think that 2-4 inches will pan out here. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 This will be my one and only post about this here... I know that many of you use this board for weather discussion and nothing else. You'll see that my color has changed and that I am no longer a moderator. As far as what happened, I have my version of events, others have theirs, and we'll leave it at that. A member's sideshow has never had a place for discussion here. That being said, the staff was put in a bad position. It's my fault and I apologize. As far as things going forward, well, I don't know. I have absolutely no involvement in any deliberations happening behind the scenes as far as a moderator, or if we will even have one (a couple subforums don't). I have been with this board for over 10 years and made who knows how many thousands of posts in this subforum, and I have a lot more to give. I look forward to discussing the weather again, and hopefully it starts with something interesting tomorrow. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main thing is adding a couple to cover everything. Not to mention it isn't bad to have extra around just in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
