Best of luck with all the rain. My SIL lives in Southprt NC. Lots of rain there. We're supposed to get heavy rains from the TS early Saturday morning, pre-dawn.
We are getting hammered! Trees down and flooding. I’m at work so there’s back up power if we lose it. It’s not going to be good for folks near waterways.
Well, we ended up with over 3” from Debby remnants. Have had some health issues for a week or so so haven’t been online for awhile. Grass grew so much that I was thinking it was going to need raked and baled. We needed the moisture so no complaints.
About 90mins SW of here, parts of CT received up to 10in rain over a few hours yesterday and overnight. I hope the FHC CT crew made out OK.
We got lucky. The cell that dropped that rain was to our south west and just glanced us. It rained hard here for a bit. Can’t imagine how hard in those areas of CT. Edit: Just took a look at the weather station data from yesterday; 4.3” of rain here. Guess it was more rain than I realized!
I learned that in Stony Brook Long Island (a ways west of me) they got 11" of rain last night ...! It sure rained a lot here too.
Fortunately the line of storms that came from the west were fast moving. Got 1.5" in 20 minutes. Did get a bunch of lightning and thunder. One bolt was so loud and close it may have hit something in the block behind my house. When it hit, I jumped and did the big pull in the shoulders and arms real tight - as if that would have kept me from being hit at that point - LOL May have picked up a bit more thru the night, but that would have had little consequence
We had a fast moving thunderstorm come thru Sunday evening. We fared ok, a few small limbs down...our daughter at the end of our road lost power for a couple hrs. Others weren't so lucky...some lost power for 8-16 hrs, some had trees down and property damage... Pictures are from a subdivision north of the town I work in... We will help this friend clean up this oak... May get some of this wood too... Pine in his yard This big pine went thru the roof... A couple more oak in that neighborhood... A coworker's house and truck got hit by a big tree...
They say Wallingford had ping-pong size hail Not too far for me. Thanks for swinging by today Eric certainly nice to catch up with you. Keep me posted. Hope that works out well for you
Thinking that was the same cell that shut me down for a bit. I heard the thunder, then some sprinkles and took a while for the heavy rain to hit. I was very close to 691 where it turns into 66.
Went to a subdivision across Ga Hwy 15 from my above post...damage was much worse over there. Some has been cleaned up, some is still waiting...big pines in this yard We're going to this house tomorrow, they have over 35 trees down on the property. Huge pine in the front yard Big pine in side yard Some of the oak trees... Tree service is coming Friday, so hope we can get a couple trailer loads tomorrow
T.Jeff Veal Yes, another issues with our SYP. They are shallow rooted and will go over easy with heavy rains followed by wind
Another system came thru Sandersville Thursday evening...a couple sections of town lost power... A pine tree split off and took down the lines... And another section a huge oak broke off, they were cleaning it up Friday morning early...
