Lol. I'm blind and didn't see that. Yeah, that'll be tough to beat.

Well, they are at 13.26" and only less than .60" away from the record, so I think they've got a good shot at it.

Yeah, they already broke the July mark and the all-time mark looks to be in serious jeopardy. eta: well, there you go. Thanks, Yoda.

This marine warning in motion looks like a flag man warning the eastern shore of what's coming.

An advantage to all this rain is that it will make the biweekly chore of weeding super easy. I'm also looking forward to going out in the garden and picking my blimp size squash.

He's being sarcastic and has been lightly trolling EJ all week.

I know this should go to banter, but I like that EJ can take the reactions that he sometimes gets. Over an inch since 7AM and nearing a foot total.

Ugh. And you may not get the break that we might get here later today. Probably nothing compared to your problems, but this is my neighbors situation now. Her sump pumps cant can’t keep up.

No, it's an older home like all the others in this hood. I think the problem is that she recently had an automatic generator installed which, ironically, is because she travels a lot and wanted to be sure that her basement would be safe if we ever lost power. So I think the new electric work messed her up. The company was over there again yesterday.

It can’t happen soon enough. We are back under heavy returns. So far we’ve been fortunate here and have a lot of standing water in the yard, but the sump pump has handled the basement other than wall seepage that I took care of by breaking up the thin concrete over the French drain. My friends and neighbors haven’t been so lucky. My next door neighbor had 3 feet of water in her basement yesterday when a gfi switch kicked and turned off her pump. And my friend down the street had her sump pump go on the fritz last night and was up all night keeping her finished basement semi dry with a vacuum. The plumber is there now as I type putting in a new floatless pump and replacing the battery on the backup. But I’m clogging the thread. I want to hear npz complain some more.

MNTransplant recommended this to me several years ago. My kind of instrument because it's plenty affordable and very accurate. Not to mention it's cool checking out the maps. https://cocorahs.org/

Thanks.

2.68" for total of 10.31". Still raining.

Someone can check me on this, but I'm pretty sure that BWI (previously the State House) surpassed their rainiest July ever (10.65" in 1905) this evening, and is now less than 3" from its rainiest month ever (13.83" in August 1933). That persistent plume along the western bay this afternoon and evening needs to shift east or west to give the basements in these parts a break. I'm closing in on 11" for the past 3 days.

I didn't take a direct hit from this most recent wave, but now over 8" here. Fortunately these are all fast movers.

Wow. Good to know! Hopefully you catch and release.

Is that pond public? I might want to check it out. On topic, a quick tropical downpour here and now blue skies.

One of my tomato plants is toast. It's funny how too much water makes the tomato plant look exactly like one that hasn't received enough water. Hopefully it's only the one that dies this week, especially because the others are loaded with green fruit.

Another .82" to bring the two-day total to 7.63"

Good grief. I already miss yeterday’s northeast winds. Cooking out this afternoon and it’s hot and humid as f.

6.81" here and most of that came between 9pm and midnight. It must have been a very narrow band because the CoCoRaHS obs not too far from here are 3-4" lower.

I'll be shocked if my tomato plants survive this. There is 3" of standing water in my garden now and my Cocorahs rain gauge is 60% full. I'll wait until morning to wade out there to get a measure.

I've been in this house for 14 years and there have been some decent flooding events, but this is as bad as my yard has ever been. Most of it is under water. I also went down into the basement and broke the thin layer of concrete in the area over the French drain where the dripping water isn't getting into the corrugated plastic along the walls. Now it's getting into the drain and the sump pump is draining it into a flooded area of the yard. Good times! But the new roof that High Stakes's company put on is keeping the inside dry!

Way ahead of you on beers, and just starting taking on some water in the basement. It's not too bad and the French drain is collecting almost all of it, but a little is seeping in. I'm just glad that it's here and not Ellicott City.

Totally pummeled the last hour here. Non stop pouring
