In today's society people need to get the message. Hopefully they do. The NWS can't be clearer on this event. I hope it it doesn't come to what they're saying in the post.

This forecast looks bleak for the south-east US. STORM SURGE WARNING NWS CHARLESTON SC 512 AM EDT MON AUG 5 2024 SCZ052-051715- /O.CON.KCHS.SS.W.1004.000000T0000Z-000000T0000Z/ 512 AM EDT MON AUG 5 2024 Tidal Berkeley- ...STORM SURGE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT... ...TROPICAL STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT... * LOCATIONS AFFECTED - Daniel Island - Red Bank Landing - Cainhoy * WIND - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Below tropical storm force wind - Peak Wind Forecast: 15-25 mph with gusts to 35 mph - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for wind 39 to 57 mph - The wind threat has remained nearly steady from the previous assessment. - PLAN: Plan for hazardous wind of equivalent tropical storm force. - PREPARE: Efforts to protect property should now be underway.

I'm glad to see that about everyone is putting Pillow in their crosshairs.

That will be catastrophic flooding for a lot of people.

Nice to see you keep your favorite metoroligst picture on your nightstand accessible for posting.

I wish the people in the southeast US the best i this storm> I seen Hilton Head Island could get 26 inches of rain. I love Hilton Head, Thats our favorite place to vacation along Coliginy Beach.

*Potentially historic rainfall amounts likely to bring widespread severe flooding to the area* There is increasing confidence that TS Debby will stall near the area Tues/Wed. Rainfall amounts will bring extreme impacts- help us get the word out! weather.gov/chs/tropical

Come on go for the gusts! the board here would love to see you do live videos from the beach in tropical or hurricane conditions.

Being some of my property is low land. At 6 ft the water starts to come in where I mow and camp occasionally. Where my garden is about 7 ft the lower end of garden will go under water. As far as the township road concerns for flooding, 12 ft it will start coming over the road at places. At that point we're basically flooded in until the water recedes. As that road is the only access to our place

Creek came back up again, so it rained somewhere good I only got .01 yesterday.

This looks like it's from you favorite TV Station!

That was in their post, I thought that was unusual.

Pulled the pump this morning at the creek after I seen it came up 2 feet since yesterday. So the ground has a good bit of moisture in it in my garden. After it rained .36 yesterday the water was sitting on top of the ground in some spots of the garden for at least 4 hours. I hope I'm done irrigating the garden this year.

I had over 5" rain in July so I think I'm good.

.01 rain today.

Yes a tropical storm, slow moving would do a lot of damage.

Anytime a tropical system is involved there is potential. Seen it too many times. And if the models are showing it a week out imo it will happen.

So, you implying some of Pa. could go from drought to flood within less than a week?

Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service State College PA 448 AM EDT Sat Aug 3 2024 PAZ036-051>053-056>059-063-064-040900- Franklin-Montour-Northumberland-Columbia-Perry-Dauphin-Schuylkill- Lebanon-Cumberland-Adams- 448 AM EDT Sat Aug 3 2024 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for central Pennsylvania. .DAY ONE...Today and tonight. There is an elevated risk of excessive rainfall later this afternoon into the evening that could result in isolated flooding particularly in urban areas. A couple of strong to severe thunderstorms capable of localized damaging wind gusts are also possible this afternoon and evening.

I got up this morning and usually hear the creek if it's low. But this morning I didn't hear the creek. So I looked down at the creek and seen that it has risen quite a bit since last evening (2ft) Wonder if we'll get heavy rain today to raise the creek even more? I only got .36 yesterday so it must have rained quite a bit more somewhere else to raise the creek. Nws says theres an elevated risk of excessive rainfall today.

Don't flood Pillow out, you'll pay downstream.
