    UGH. Just car damage hopefully, and no health issues.. Good luck on the insurance front. 

    Only bumper.  Thankfully.  

    Seems that the person who hit me hasn't called it in yet to report things on their end.  I'm hoping this won't turn into a pain.  Its the same damn insurance for both too.

    That sucks. Think the worse part about it all is dealing with the insurance.

    00z Euro likes your thinking on Flo with a CAT 2? into SC and GFS is a big tease off the coast but I have a 5 spot that says Fish storm. Game? 

    Just bumper damage and a couple scared kids but nothing bad.

     

    Too early to put up a wager for what this thing might do.  OTS still gotta be the main thought but 2 models now saying ridging over top of Flo and it will sniff the coast.  I think it is safe to say we all just need to go with the Flo and wait.

     

    I'll see myself out.

  3. Got rear ended heading over to the eastern shore, came back, had rain, didn't get to do what i planned, pool closed yesterday, now dealing with insurance.

     

    Come on Flo.  Make everyone look foolish for saying it has no chance to hit the EC.

  4. Development is the main culprit with EC.  When you look at other historical floods for them they are mostly river based and not from water flushing down the hills and streets.  Very little is required of developers for making sure that the down stream infrastructure is adequate for the size of neighborhoods they want to build.  So you have land changing from permeable to needing SWM.  The thing about that is the velocities of the run off has changed drastically.  A new development will get that water off its area and into the natural drainage a hell of a lot faster than if it were trees and soil.  Once you get a ton of water moving at a fast speed it creates its own path.

    Oddly enough, a storm drain 85% full carries more water than a pipe 100% full.
