GATECH

This is totally random, but I am watching the Shinning, why not on a dark and stormy night 2 days before Halloween. There is a scene where there is a radio broadcast and the news anchor mentions a ‘stockmans advisory’ and ‘Travelers Advisory’. I vaguely remember Stockmans Advisories from growing up in Colorado. Question, was that a NWS product, and do they still issue those? I am bored….and drinking.

Drove by about 230, the whole northbound side of the parkway was underwater by that time l.

Flood pics from old town and vicinity. Cars in that parking garage are toast! I got to belle haven blvd, after that GW parkway was closed.

Yeah, I just forded the Potomac river on the GW parkway! Just before belle haven on southbound side. Belle haven shopping center is dry! Good news, looks like the pumps or whatever they did here worked!

Lower Old Town Alexandria is In world of hurt. Highest I have seen the river since Isabel!. More pictures to follow, headed south down GW parkway towards belle haven and home.

Not soon enough, I want ocean front property so I can Airbnb my house! Terrible, I know…

Driving by the river this evening near Belle Haven and south along the parkway, river was way high! Should be interesting in Old Town tomorrow. High tide around 2:30, will time my drive home around that time.

Thunder now in range of my ears to the south. Temp76, DP 66. Bring it!

Nice gust front moving through, temp and humidity dropped like a rock, cool clouds too!

Well it’s sure as Sh!t not supposed to be a summer month either, but that’s what we seem to get nowadays!

Well, I will take chilly and wet over tropical anytime in December in these parts. Rain snow mix would be a huge win! I really miss December’s like 2003 and 2009! Eh screw it, I am going to Montana for Christmas so what do I care, December is going to December here.

Wow weather is gorgeous right now, wee nip in the air with a breeze from the NW, Temp 67! AC is going to get a well deserved vacation the next few days!

A la Tulane…

In ground, problem is when it overflows the water can find its way to a basement stairwell, plus the pool gets trashed with mulch and stuff. Events like this make me nervous, I have sandbags for the basement well, but those are a pain to drag out.

The struggle is real! Only had to do it twice this year! Good luck tomorrow!

Everyone relax, I pumped 4 inches of water out of my pool, this insures a few tenths of in inch of rain. Water will be re-added to pool costing me roughly $58 dollars on Friday…but on the plus side, I am refusing to put down my deck umbrella thus insuring I decent tornado outbreak. If you would like flooding rain and no tornados, please send me $58 and I will add the water back to the pool and take the umbrella down. The choice is yours…unfortunately I have yet to find the correct superstition combo to yield snow in winter…working on it though. To keep this legit for this thread…obs: cloudy, temp 82.7, DP 74.1, wet bulb is 77.7.

Invite @EastCoast NPZ to your vacation, that should do it!

If you want free radar, this is the best site… https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/

No thank you! Send all rain to NPZ!

Best of the year lightening show just to the south. I am in a perfect spot, get to see and hear it without the rain, already had 1.22 inches today so I am good.

Sorry about your basement. Crazy! We only had .5 down here, didn’t even hear the rain last night.

Entering the strange pink sky phase of the storm. Went from grey to green to pink.

To bad it doesn’t work with Snow!

Send SSE!
