My Crazy-Ass Local Weather

[MartyS (Gromit)]

 Several tornadoes touched down in DE and NJ.

 Looks like about 5 inches of rain so far, looking at the radar the rain is probably mostly over now.

 And of course my house lost power.......

[MartyS (Gromit)]

 Power has been out for 5 hours, sun has been out for a few hours now and the electric company is still in "evaluating" phase.  Probably time to quit looking at their darn website, it's been several years since they gave an accurate prediction as to when an outage would be fixed.

 My back yard rain gauge overflowed, so we got more than 5 inches of rain in about 8 hours, a little water seeping into the basement but no backup on the floor drain.

 Got my fridge/network/laptop on the generator.

Power is out here in Norfolk as well. A tree got blown down just a few houses down. Luckily it landed between two houses. Traffic lights are out and I’ve already seen one accident because of it.

[MartyS (Gromit)]

 Power here came back around 5pm, so it was off for about 7 hours.

 Fairly widespread damage and flooding.

Strong thunderstorms for the last half hour, over an inch of ran in that short time.
Tornado warning popped up for a little while during the peak of it, now the warnings have shifted a bit to the south.

They say the tornado that hit Delaware Tuesday stayed on the ground for nearly 30 miles, a record for DE.

Pretty much..

A 1 - 2 punch looks to be developing
2 strong tropical waves moving across the Atlantic are showing increasing chances of development. It’s still way too early to know what and where they will go for certain but the first one looks to be aiming for the Gulf of Mexico, the other towards the southeast U.S. by early next week

[RVR II]

Future Laura & Marco will be impacting the gulf coast states early next week..
TD 13 (what ever name it gets) will pose the more serious threat to Florida and the southeast.
Glad I got my immediate outdoor projects completed

[RVR II]

The wind patterns began to change from South to North yesterday and rain is following along as both Future Laura & Marco look to make gulf coast landfalls simultaneously Tuesday morning
Wednesday looks like a good chance of flash flooding in my locale if the forecasts hold true for the Carolinas..

louisiana looks right proper fucked.

louisiana looks right proper fucked.

Agreed! I would not want to be living near their coastline right now

[RVR II]

TS Marco has sheared apart and the remnants are actually making it into SC. Could start to see some steady rains into the night tonight, then Laura could take a sharp easterly turn once inland and we could see effects from her later this week into the weekend

[RVR II]

The latest models shifted Laura west into the Houston area. The data is also showing a major hurricane strike is likely, maybe even a category 4. Impacts would be Wednesday afternoon to Thursday. We are getting close enough in time to where the models won’t change much after this.

Hurricane Laura bowling ashore full bore at 150mph in Camaroon LA. with 'Unsurvivable' storm surge as it moves north at 15mph
Yet I heard some dumbasses chose to ride out the hurricane IN THEIR BOATS!! Well, there will be a few less idiots in the world

[RVR II]

Looks like a complete mess in Louisiana..
The remnants of Laura will bring breezy conditions to my area on Saturday along with an increased threat of severe weather.
