  1. Lets see how the models do over the next 10 days precip wise. The mean average for MBY last Sunday was .5 inches, I received over 2in within 72 hours. To be honest, the Canuk and Baby Canuk did the best with last week and this week in the medium to long range. It has me around 1.5in thru 10 days while the others just a spittle. If it keeps up I'm riding it into March in mby lol
  2. It's been raining for 6 hours straight again. This is getting stupid.
  3. So we broke all time river crests through North Central IN down to Northern Indy last week. Now a rain train is setting up to dump again. I'm already pushing 13 inches for the last week, 90% came on Thurs thru Fri night. Insane.
  4. Yeah. I'm more concerned with home growns this year . Not necessarily hurricanes either. Tropical systems that can form in the GOM, even weak ones, this year are going to be loaded water guns moving inland. While El Nino's usually cut down on overall numbers, they usually load up weaker storms. And we certainly don't want a GOM system riding up the MS river this year after what just happened. We're going to be flood prone for the next month with no rain. Rivers and creeks are still in Moderate to Major flood stages. If you stop and walk up to a corn or soybean field theres a lake under most of them.
  5. Yeah, been watching it from my back porch. It just started moving right. Wind here abruptly changed direction about 15 min ago like 180 degrees heading into that thing. Got my eyes on the one behind it. Its freaking juicy as hell out.
  6. I'll try and get some pics tomorrow. That is if this if we dont get the supposed amounts being forecasted right now overnight. Another 1in+ and its gonna be Schitts creek territory. Cant believe I forgot my phone lol. Sux getting old.
  7. Yep. We have November which I kind of think as our second tornado season compared to Spring early Summer.
  8. I hope this rain is done for awhile, we can't take anymore. I am very familiar with the creeks and rivers around here as I do a lot of fishing, canoeing and kayaking especially East of State Road 9. I took a ride around Madison, Delaware and Hancock counties today and there are places I've never seen the water that high ever (in 15 years anyway). They are saying record levels on the White River from around Muncie to Anderson. There is a big gravel pit, about 100 acres, to my SE on St Rd 13 that the gravel tower that loads the trucks is halfway under water from the table rising in the 3 pits its already dug. That thing is 75ft tall. Bridges along Pipe creek and White river are like 12 inches from going under on major roads and highways. These are fairly large spans (for us in the stix lol) of over 100ft. Tons of roads closed and EMS trucks and cars everywhere. Believe it or not I forgot my phone lol. I'm gonna go back around tomorrow as the rivers are supposed to crest then and get some pics. Its pretty bad. I know the New Castle and Cambridge areas got hammered too but thats a bit of a stretch for me just farting around lol. That was a ton of rain in such a short time for about an 8 county area.
  9. Skeeters are gonna suck next week, literally
  10. The Green Monster lol. Thats some juice right there...
  11. Pretty much a FFE from around Logansport down S of New Castle. Active water rescues and evacuations ongoing throughout the area. Its been raining here since midnight
  12. They are real. It's gotten pretty crazy here. 1/4mile vis just from the rain. Flash Flood Warnings almost the entire eastern half of the state now expanding to the NE as this next bow moves in. Phones gone off 3 times for a FFE in the last 2 hours. We could definitively see 15 inch event totals in places(some already have over 10) if this bow tracks along this stalled outflow boundary. Hoping it washes out as it turns similar to yesterday. Its a freaking electric power washer non stop out there too. Still constant lightning. Crazy stuff. I'm officially flooding severely now. Barns taking water
  13. I'm glad we got a bit of pre-soaking in last week before this Howitzer train hit. If it would've hit at the beginning of the month when my ground was so dry it was Bonneville lake bed cracking all of that juice would've ran straight for the creeks and rivers. Ground is setup to do some aquifer regeneration. It really shows out here in rural areas where with as much rain as we've gotten this week it's been soaking in fast. We're saturated now, need a break to drain lol.
  14. I have had back and forth loud rumbles to howitzers since midnight. I'm seriously saying 1 or more a minute for the last 9 hours straight. I don't think I've ever had a lightning/thunder streak this long since I've lived here. Doesn't bother me at all normally but its really starting to get on my nerves now (my dog has 4mg's of xanax in him. He's gonna need a therapist). Rumble rumble rumble then bam. Even the rumbles are those far off explosive sounding strikes. Almost every blast of lightning is CG, no upper cloud stuff. Its freakin' nutz. The rain was pretty steady also, another 2.5in since last night bringing my 2 day total to 7. But just to my SSE they have been getting pummeled even worse, 4-7 inches overnight. The training over East Central/SE IN/SWOH is unreal. Every time I've checked the radar since this started around midnight they are just covered. If that next bow sustains and and doesn't swing to our south the ground is completely saturated primed and ready for tree falls with any wind. Once again, I hate these setups with a passion. Give me a single SUP with a TOR any day. Here and gone lol. This is like WWI trench warfare crap. Think I'm shell shocked lol
  15. You guys been getting freight trqained
