wdrag Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Have placed my final review in the original IDA thread and answered a question on how to access some pretty good predictive data that I think WPC relies upon, maybe more so than specific ensembles for the first 48 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Kenilworth right nearby and I lucked out, but all towns around me have spots where houses took on major water in basement (either creek, culvert, or just simply stormwater backup). Can hear the choppers surveying impacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleetStormNJ Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 For good chunk of NJ, Ida (even if remnants) will go up right with Sandy and Floyd in top 3 of impacts over last 30 years (Isaias and Irene not far behind). Sadly, these events are coming closer together in time and with dramatic broader and intensity level impacts (wind or rain/flood, surge) respectively. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busy year for the tri-state-Isaias last year, remnants of Elsa, Henri and now Ida this year which dumped incredible rains (all 3) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the crazy thing is this was just the remnants of a storm barely energized by a trough and we still got Floyd like rains. It lasted maybe 6hrs. What will happen when a strong hurricane actually impacts us directly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen our town this bad My official gauge was 8.81". Crazy storm. I've never seen the area this bad either. Overall made out ok here. 4" of water in the basement, but that is gone now. Have 6 industrial fans going now. My pool looks like chocolate milk though since so much runoff ran into it. Very grateful it wasn't worse.

I used to think if the real deal came up the coast, I could board the house up and get the hell out of dodge (like upstate NY or somewhere well inland) but with the way things have gone the last decade, I really don’t know where is safe anymore. I said it last night, but this region…anything can happen. Literally, anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intensewind002 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Finished with 1.89” of rain in lindenhurst, happy my home didn’t wind up flooded out or wrecked by a tornado like many in nyc nj and pa, but i hope the recovery process isnt too bad for those that did get impacted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the area of interest down from CONUS to NORTHEAST. Then go to precip and review 24 hour MEAN at the three 24 hour intervals provided. Then click MAX and check for the same time. I do the same for snow. Also, can look at hourly mean ptype/amount, ditto wind (found under FIRE). It's a tool...imperfect but I and believe WPC think it's the best available, for now. EC has a lot of fans but is inadequate when it comes to convective release (secondary imo to the NCEP GFS). ANY questions: write me. I could conduct a ZOOM on how to use all these tools in predictive sense, but all who participate must have pretty good internet. yes please re:zoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 11 hours ago, RU848789 said: Latest Raritan flooding forecast is several feet less than it was for Floyd, which had record flooding on the Raritan. Will still be major flooding, though according to the graphic, assuming that graphic is correct. In case nobody updated this (haven't checked), FYI, forecast for flooding for the Raritan increased to just about the same record level seen for Floyd in 1999, at least at Bound Brook, peaking around 1-2 pm, then declining, as per the graphic. Let's hope Bound Brook, in particular, can handle this (although evacuations have been ordered - let's hope the mitigations they put in place keep it less severe than back then). Flooding on the Delaware at Lambertville will reach moderate flood stage (looks the same as last night's prediction) and will reach major stage on the Passaic at Little Falls, as per the graphics below (the link allows anyone to look at predicted flood levels for any river in the area). Most roads have improved and are reopening, but not River Rd or 18 and 1 in many locations, especially near streams/rivers. Horrible storm with so many tragic outcomes (8 dead in NY/NJ, so far and incredible damage all over). Nobody could've anticipated 8-12" of rain and so many tornadoes, even with predictions of 3-6" of rain and possible severe storms.https://water.weather.gov/ahps/region.php?rfc=marfc Also, my very good friend is a firefighter in Hillsborough (certainly my personal hero for today) and was doing water rescues all night, but they couldn't reach 2 who died, as per the report linked below. Helicopter rescues being made in some towns in NJ and more are missing. Just tragic. https://www.nj.com/weather/2021/09/nj-weather-2-people-die-in-submerged-vehicles-in-hillsborough-during-ida-flooding.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the word "remnants" is extremely deceptive as the amount of rainfall that will fall has nothing to do with the intensity of the storm, it has to do with a variety of external factors. Some of the most destructive and damaging storms were 40 mph TS or even TD. Intensity <> Impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff Walt - this is why it's so great to have a pro like you (and many others) on the board. Also, look at that graphic vs. the radar composite - fairly decent match... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
