Not sure how much he makes in a year. I always joke with him and say I got screwed having to pay for his crop since it was Trump bucks that paid for it. That is how I got to know the hydrologist based out of Hagerstown...when he was up here doing property surveys.
Speaking of USGS, here are the current PA stream levels. We have gone back up to the normal area. Lots of much above in Eastern LSV.
IDA looks to me likes it could be getting ready to take her turn "toward us" as it starts to head more North and eventually North East....will see how much of NOLA/Suburbs gets into the eye wall area. Only west side at this point is up for possible it seems.
We we officially in drought two weeks ago. It was lifted this week after the 2" from Fred and then last week was the wettest week LSV wide in a long time. I know a lot of the Capital area missed out and other small areas like around Cash but lots of people booked 3-7 inches over the last 7 days.
Depending on how long it survives, this web cam may have some dramatic views. Water was no where to be seen when I turned it on and its now several feet deep. That water tower may be the only thing left.

Yea, my mistake. I was reading "guesses". I do see that they are finding 170+ just above the surface. Scary. And there are lots of people there unfortunately.
I was thinking the upped it to Cat 5 at 160. Maybe that wa sjsut people guessing on the weather board base don recon flights. Its going to leave a lot of destruction.
Edit-I see now the official number is still 150.
Could end up being one of the worst case scenarios for NOLA. Taking the eye direct is bad but this is just about as bad. Hospitals are at capacity with Covid and now this. And who knows, NOLA could still take a full direct hit. It's a 'Cane and does what it wants. Shows the importance of not taking model or NHC data and making definitive predications.
Yea, it's a great tracking event and something people talk about every year RE: remember Lee, etc. Hopefully it's a good track but little flood situation. I think training should cancel any date plans just in case.
Your news is bad news for many in the Central and Eastern LSV as well as Cashtown's golf course. Many in the western LSV and just west of the LSV will welcome the bountiful rain! Voyager wants 10" or bust.
If you get no rain between now and Wed you should be pretty dry but think you may get rain tomorrow. Have not looked much recently so do not quote me on that.
You have been pretty unlucky. Much of the LSV had a wet week. This is just mid week on. If I had a map for all week it would be one of the wettest weeks for the LSV all year. (Except those like you that missed out....turnabout like you said).
Storm petered out here but I did get some decent rain. 4 days out of 6 it has rained this week. Only two were significant though. Golf course looks to get wet.
