TSG Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 That heavy band crossing Albemarle right now is legit. Heaviest rain I've seen in a long time 1.65" as of a few mins ago. Could be closing in on 2" at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East-West itself is draining enough water that you're spraying water as if it's standing puddle. Got it thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid was fuming and yelling at me...and she's the pretty level-headed and chill one. She slammed the door and stomped into the house while I was trying to tell her that I'll find the phone number for the school superintendent so she can make a complaint. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 18 minutes ago, mattie g said: Picked up the kids from the bus stop and my 5th grader was *raging* at her strings concert being cancelled this evening. So I guess some students think it's dumb to cancel activities for gusty rain. Was pouring and windy for a bit, but it's slowed down over the past few minutes. Looks like it should be pretty interesting with in the next hour. Those students are objectively wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Man you can really hear the wind roaring up about 500-1000 ft. Sounds like a plane is parked over us - reminds me of being in Manhattan during Sandy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditches full. Water table broke the surface in my seasonal wetland. Last year that happened late April/early May. And only 0.45" so far for this one. Too much rain over the last 6 weeks.

Normally we spike up into the mid 40s or even 50s for events like these, but with the winds more out of the SE instead of SW it looks like we will survive with a strong base. Hope we repeat with Friday's storm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
