how quick did that flood. Makes me wonder if some people could have gotten to their cars, but said f it, I'll take the insurance claim

I'm not going to post it, but I took a "before" photo with some water in the garage area around 10:30.  The close up of my car and feet was at 11:17 and we were evacuated about 10 minuets later, so I am extremely lucky to have gotten my car out of there.  It wouldn't have been 5 more minutes before I would have been bailing water out of it.

I did speak to someone who did indeed have their car in there and he said he was happy to take the claim. He said the car was burning oil and he was facing a hefty repair bill!

All in all, it was pretty amazing how fast it happened. Sure shows how flash floods are no joke.

The small brook at the bottom of Mile Hill in New Sharon flooded on May 1 but the damage was patched by the 3rd.  Now a major replacement is underway, with 3-sided (open bottom) concrete blocks 8 feet tall and 16 feet wide.  As we headed to PWM to pick up our son, we commented that it was being built for the 1000-year flood.  However, the temporary gravel bypass is much lower and is reported to be washing out.  At least much of the heavy iron is on site.  

Past the 3" mark now but probably will not approach 4.

Crew already at the site apparently have stabilized the bypass.  Looks like the heaviest rain is past and that brook has a small watershed, so the worst is probably over.

Cape's a new tornado alley ... seems the last 8 years has had a lot of those lowered LCL deals

There has certainly been an uptick. Have to wonder what role dual-pol is playing in this too. How many more tornadoes are now being detected from (even brief) TDS that maybe nobody would ever know about and whether NWS would use resources to send someone out b/c someone's house got blown off.

3.83" here, More then enough, That pump i placed in the garden has paid dividends.

The widespread 3"+ amounts are impressive.  These aren't localized training cells.  Whole area west/north of 95 got smoked today.  https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=GYX&product=PNS

mmm   yeah but, these are touching down and snapping off tree tops and breaking windows here and there.   ...tearing siding off boat houses too... 

they're on the weak side, but I don't know if dual-pol is helping them actually touch down, just the same. 

But like you said, ... uptick is noted.
