LithiaWx Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Its bad up here. Lightning has struck nearby twice. Still raining like crazy... Here it is, it's gonna be bad. My fiance says it's absolutely dumping in buckets near our house and the bottom just fell out here at work. Coming down extremely hard. I think we hit the rain lottery today, and it's about time!

Gastonwxman Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 If what has developed in Shelby holds, I might get into another round rain soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Got 1.31" from that deluge in about 45 minutes. Bringing my day total to 1.69"! There's more still to come judging by radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinhmd Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You are getting decent rain? Actually I don't know for sure....my rain guage has never malfunctioned before, but so many places around me are getting good rain on the Wundermap from Weather Underground. I can let you know for sure this weekend when I go check my rain barrel! What about you? Any luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeznado Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Guess what? ANOTHER screw job here- probably will end up with only a few tenths if I am really lucky, nothing worse that having continuous thunder for over an hour, the sky gets very dark, and voila! the storm parts and reforms to the south. This is getting completely ridiculous. Will go out and water again tonight- I knew if we missed today that would be it for another week. Blargh.

Looks like we could be in store for a very wet end to the week and weekend. Here's what BMX says: BY THURSDAY...THE BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO LIFT BACK NORTHWARD AS A PSEUDO WARM FRONT BRINGING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MOISTURE...AND ANOTHER BOUGHT WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH AT LEAST THE WEEKEND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 What is your monthly total ? I've only had my gauge since July 7th. In that span I've received 2.76". I would guess I am around 5" for the month because it poured on the 3rd,4th, and 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 You are getting decent rain? i hope someone did. not one. drop. of. rain. imby. at all. it looked great on radar and every freaking drop dried up about 1/2 cty away Guess what?

This is getting completely ridiculous. Will go out and water again tonight- I knew if we missed today that would be it for another week. Blargh. tell me about. those of us in the summer no-storm screw zone are getting screwed over and over again. even with 70-80% chances. its depressing and infuriating. sigh - maybe we can make up for it in the winter lol i was going to water today but with the thunder and clouds and radar i just "knew" we'd get rain. i should have watered.

NCSNOW Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Since May 1st, MBY has only had 3.5 inches of rain until tonight. After countless times of hearing thunder and not even receiving a spit ,I racked up 2 inches exactly this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Its bad up here. Lightning has struck nearby twice. Still raining like crazy... it got bad.... I was walking out the door from work and guess what.... flash, boom. Scared the you know what out of me. Two close encounters with lightning outside in one day is too much to handle. This second time was farther away but man what luck.... Cobb racked up today, epic rains and lightning today best in a LONG time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinhmd Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Maybe .10, very disappointing. On to the next potential event! hope you made out OK Thanks, I think I did okay, watching the radar returns. I'm gonna have to get a more reliable weather station. And wow I really wish you had gotten more, so disappointing with the 80% chance.... Maybe when the front comes back up later this week...

Solak Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Pocked up another .40" or so today. Interesting tidbit, thanks to the CoCoRaHS database. This is the first time this year where I've recorded more than 1/10" on three consecutive days. Database error won't let me search back further in time to see when the last time this happened was.

WhiteoutWX Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Wicked storm here at Holden beach right now. Had probably a 50 mph wind gust blow all the deck furniture clear across from one side of the house to the other and slam into the railing.

MotoWeatherman Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Experimental Station on 129 had .85, lucky dogs! I only had .24" on the other side of the range and this was due to a tiny pop up cell that happened in the middle of the afternoon. And that tiny pop up cell was moving NE of all directions which was completely not the direction everything else was going. I got nothing from that late afternoon/evening action.
