One other thing I saw is there is another hurricane, Henri who looks like it may make a run at the New England.

Also, daily climate report does confirm 90 was reached. I believe that’s #5 for the summer. Expand Yep, I was in one of the areas that received 2.5-3" of rain. Torrent of water shot straight from the wooded area above on a direct path to my basement window well, didn't realize until it was already full of water, got about 0.5" across half the basement floor through the window. Redirected the water up on the slope and bucketed out the window well as if I were on a sinking ship. Nothing really damaged as I was able to vacuum the water up and got dehumidifiers, fans down to the basement super quick. The creek further down the slope swelled to a size that one of the elderly neighbors said, "I've lived here my whole life and only saw this happen 2 or 3 times." He said the last time it happened was when there were two hurricanes that came through back-to-back. Road was closed where the swollen creek passed under it and a few miles down from there are, well *were*, train tracks now washed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Hard to tell if PBZ isn’t too keen on that scenario coming to fruition (I for one hope it doesn’t), if their forecast discussion is just bare bones as we know it so often is, or if they’re hedging their bets because we’re still 60-72 hours out from the onset of rain in our area from this storm. I’m leaning towards hedging their bets, as they do seem to have more to say about tomorrow’s event than they do about the remnants of Ida. But they’re not carrying anything more than 70% chances of rain when Ida moves through. CTP, as usual, has more to say on the matter. Beyond all that, I’m really worried that this will be a catastrophic event in Louisiana. It’s now up to a high end Cat 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
