    I'm no Hydrologist, but 35 to 50" of rain in 90 days seems like it should have observed more flood than just these sporadic townships with washed out roads and yard ponds dumping into cellars.

    I wonder if the region is at a 'hydrostatic balance'?    The amount of water coming into the system is evenly matched ...more than less, by the amount leaving.  It's like a ton of rain just perfectly balanced right below the threshold of a regional flood concern.   I'm not talking about VT's thing, or this recent event in the Leominster area - as impressive and historic as they were, they were related more so to large amounts in shorter duration.  Short duration flooding is certainly augmented by preexisting wet conditions, but if the rain rate is sufficiently large it doesn't matter.   Leominster and VT would have happened either way.

    Anyway, not trying to declare anything. This is really thinking out loud.  In the end, this is like staging SNE with a primed wick for flooding, and holding it there in perpetuity - like a highly unusual static length of time.  Such that we go so long without actually having a more regional flood take place.   If this continues into the autumn, then we buck CC with a brick earth winter (say...), that stage might be interesting later next March

    No snow last winter to slowly melt into the water table.

    Natural disasters have been happening since the dawn of the earth. Nothing new. Will continue to happen for the entire life of the earth. It just is what it is.
     

    No one is hoping for anyone to get injured or worse. We are just extremely deprived of interesting WX and want to see something happen.

    do I want to live a week without electricity… No, but that’s why I have a genny.

    I would say more over-warned in area than in severity. Usually the warning text is pretty accurate for the max expected hail/wind anywhere in the warning, but it's usually such a localized area.

    I just don’t understand then I guess. according to both reflectivity and velocity radar I was in the strongest section of the storm where I was. Warren/Morris area at the time. With maybe 15-20mph gusts.

    Surprised The lightning doesn't blur with the 10 second shutter speed.

    It’s so quick it’s only recording the data of the flash itself. Leaving the shutter open just give better chances of getting lighting in the shot since there is a 1 second delay between shots.
