Happy to forego heavy rain. Just don't need it.

It's only fun when you're in your twenties, living on the 12th floor of a downtown DC apartment and the maintenance man fixes everything for you.  

Since buying a home, my perspective on certain types of weather has changed dramatically.

When some of us shared your last paragraph a chorus of boos would rain down

This is so true.

I've got pretty good drainage, but the front of our house is still messy and not graded well since our porch construction is nearing completion, so the last thing I need after nearly a foot of rain in the last 6 weeks or so is a TS Lee redux.

3"+ in spots when the center is passing by...torrential.  Also noticed that the euro is slower to get out of here and has a similar evolution as the ICON.  GFS is the most progressive in the bunch now.

That assumes that PWATS = precip.

I love my home.  One year in, but after water in my basement last Fall, I'm out in the street digging out the debris in my storm drain weekly (that usually diverts runoff toward my home.).

That sucks cause your area does have some elevation to get water away from things. If you were down closer to Paul Spring branch then I’d say Jack the house up on pilings

You’re good. We’re close! That spring is about 150 yards behind my house. My lot happens to be where there’s a gulley and water drains through. When everything is flowing then we’re fine. It just sucks when things clog. The state is coming to evaluate for me sometime in the next few weeks.

This is front yard with me pointing at the ditch that clogs.

I've had about 2 feet of Euro rains this summer.  If only I'd have planted digital pumpkins and digital corn this year.....

That model is broke.  I'd like to kick it right in its CPU.

If that map actually verified it would cause severe river flooding of the Shenandoah and Potomac.

I didnt assume. At least according to the euro...that frame is pretty much areawide precip.

That's what I mean though. Maybe I'm reading your post incorrectly, but you seem to be referring to QPF though your image reflects PWATS.

Just trying to clarify...
