Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:15pm

We never get tornado outbreaks like this storm. It was wild. Rain totals ran from 2 to 11 inches yesterday. That's insane. I think most of the deaths from the storm were from flooding

It was crazy here, Larry. Fairly calm and light rain most of the day, then BOOM. I'm willing to bet 95% of the rain came down in two bursts lasting no more than an hour. The foot of water in the crabbing boat didn't start accumulating until the wind blew it over from the tree it was leaning against

@Phillippe - It was like that west of here. Just insane deluges that the sewer/runoff systems are not built for. Lots of swamped cars, filled basements etc

YETI BOB:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:28pm
Phillippe:

@Larry Our house is pretty much built on sand and we're only about 30 yards from a river, so when we get a storm like this the water table rises enough that the basement floor gets damp from the bottom up. Our dehumidifier goes straight to the sump pump because we could never keep up if we have to empty it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:29pm
Funky16Corners:

We live very close to a river but we're up on a bluff, the highest point in the neighborhood.
Avatar 3:32pm
still b/p:

Check this minute of video if you get a chance. Five years old of a DC subway entrance -- from a piece about the increasing subway susceptibility (everywhere!) to flooding.
If I watched water cascading down the entry escalator like that, I don't believe I'd be going down in there with it!

Hey sbp! I saw similar video of the NYC subway yesterday. That water must be insanely toxic.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:34pm
Phillippe:

That's good. We are like 8-10 ft up at ground level, but with a 7 foot ceiling in the basement, the floor is only about 1-3 ft from the typical high tide height.

Funky16Corners:

@Phillippe - Where we are, the river is basically an extension of the Manasquan Inlet (we're only a few miles in from the ocean) and the closer you get to ther shore, the closer the houses get to the water. Especially south of us, their on a very thin barrier island, wher there was immense damage during Hurricane Sandy

There's a local cannabis place -- almost said "joint" -- called Beach Boys Cannabis. I'd think the BB lawyers would not be cool with that. Entirely different industries, but consumers in the marketplace could mayyyybe be confused...maybe? "Well, they were cool. Maybe they're in THIS cool business nationally now!"
