You only exceeded your forecast this morning from the NWS(which was .25-.5 by literally 12-24 times the forecasted amount.  That’s an absolutely incredible Bust. 
 

The area that got 16” exceeded their forecast by  32-64 times the forecasted amounts by the NWS. Absolutely Mind boggling busts. 

Or forecast of 12" of snow and we end up with 768"

6.14" for the day.  Amazing how pathetic that feels when you're up against 16" a few towns over.  The same with snow in winter. 

They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain.

Jesus. Was that a river? If that was a creek that’s incredible.

That area on route 67 has a small brook, maybe about 15 feet wide.  I believe that was mainly "just" runoff from the surrounding hills.

Flooded by Watertown and Waterbury…guess we know how the towns got their names…

These are all the same areas that got destroyed in 1955.  Army Corp of Engineers then designed and built several dams around here to deal with something similar.  But a lot of those feeder rivers today were just roaring like nothing seen before.  I can't imagine how the Housatonic is handling this.  

The other thing to consider is all the sewage plants along the Naugatuck river that were flooded; the untreated effluent was just washed into the river.

Jesus the worst of that next batch is crawling right for ground zero today 

Another 2-3 inches right on the bullseye. 

Bunch of drunks in an Oxford bar flooded with water, filming houses and playgrounds floating by. Pretty funny.

Good Lord, that is awful.  The stories of destruction just keep on coming.

Route 67 in Seymour.

 

 

Who the hell makes the decision to drive through that?  It's not like it comes within 10 seconds.

And a lot of lightning in that.

There are already places over that.  

Sometimes you SHOULDN'T pay attention to those road signs.  

Helicopters to rescue dozens of people stuck on a shallow island in the Housatonic/Lake Zoar.  

From Panera's in Southbury looking NNW.

Yes sir. And who needs Ernesto…we got our own massive rain event happening out of pretty much nowhere today.  

Yup.  Probably wouldn't get this much water with Ernie anyway. Our cars and chicken coops may have washed away, but we still have our homes.

Back building big time. 

Yeah, and then that line of storms advancing from the west.

Rescues starting to happen with people trapped in cars

Just dropped my mom off back home and I saw a chicken coop floating down the Nonnewaug.  

Once in 1000 year event.

Sort of surprised news channels haven’t broken in, things not good and still pouring 

There should be a CNN crew or Cantore showing up...Round two backbuilding at this moment.

That is unbelievable.  Never saw anything like that there in 40 years.  The Pomperaug river must have burst its banks.

Just now, WinterWolf said:

Ya, it seems to be back building as you mentioned too. 

Yup.  Only hope is the backbuilding down north of Greenwich.  Trying to top 6 here. 5.19.

The funny thing is we have been "spared" here so far, just over 1.5". Looks like a lot of 2-4 inch totals to my south and west

Yeah, even worse to the west.  They're pulling 3.5"/hour stuff.  I just hit 1.4.  No end in sight.

Sun peaking out here in E CT while Fairfield county gets crushed!

Just coming into Litchfield County.  Rare to see rain this heavy. Literally watching the digital gauge go up a hundreth of an inch every 10 seconds.  

Just hit 1" since 4am.  Torrential wall of rain just to my south moving in.  
65/65
