While I certainly understand and agree with the "turn around don't drown" campaign especially for someone like myself who is in the field of public safety but if people don't have the common sense to do so nothing they say on social media will help any. It starts with common sense.

Up to 2.27" here.  Rounds of torrential rain mixed in with steady light / moderate rain.  Based on slow eastward movement and some training have to believe I top out at at least 4" for the event. 

That might be conservative if we get in on that mass of precipitation still training through eastern PA.

It's been a while since we've seen a radar this geographically extensive at one time with heavy rainfall rates.

1.55" in the bucket here, but so far I'm missing the heaviest of it.

Reports of a resident in Highland, NY getting swept away as house was surrounded by flash flooding and into the hudson river.

It IS a disaster there right now. Many reports of people trapped. 

I also saw a report of a couple of missing hikers who were caught in the floods.

Radar presentation resembles a lot like Ida to me.

If this system was further east it would be an identical situation to ida.

People were screaming bust then too , until the convection in the Delmarva completely destroyed NYC metro later that evening...

hopefully this isn't a repeat :yikes:
