daxx Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Storm total so far here in eastern York county is 4.12 inches. I did not expect this much rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Well I think that's about a wrap on the abnormally dry weather in the Sus Valley.. what a beatdown they have received Thurs afternoon into the overnight hours. Widespread 2"+ on the doppler estimates thus far, Slug of heavier rains attempting to make a run into the central counties and the AOO-UNV corridor in particular at this hour.

Voyager Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Can anyone tell me why it seems like these anomalous events almost always seem to zero in on the Harrisburg, and moreso, the Susquehanna River region. The crazy September 2011 event, and now this one? For some reason, it seems to be a rain magnet in that region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashtown_Coop Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 4.53" so far with more on the way. There will be or 7 or 8 inch event total somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 KMDT broke record for rainfall yesterday 4.02" fell. Previous record was 1.5" set back in 1894. Many streets in the Harrisburg area are flooded, as well as the west shore side of the river. I have heard numerous water rescues (vehicles stranded in water etc) The scanner is active with service calls, trees down and flooded basements and such. Rain has stopped as of now, but it looks like another round is incoming. I'm hearing we had over 3 more inches since midnight, totals anywhere from 7-8. WHTM27 was thinking 2-3" more through today.

Whenever you get an anamolous ESE or SE flow off the ocean both from about 850mb down to the surface, you will notice an axis of heavy precipitation along and south of I-81. This is from the winds interacting with the first two mountains of the Appalachian Mt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 There is some concern about the east end of Hershey and the rebuilt Hoss' (what an idiotic idea that was btw) about flooding this afternoon. This ongoing heavy rain isn't helping alleviate those fears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 i just heard a radio transmission on the scanner, but didn't hear who said it. Apparently they are trying to evacuate somebody and they don't wanna leave. I heard a guy say get their names and tell them were not coming back for them later, they're on their own!

dcfox1 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Have hit the 7 plus inch mark now. Probably have more but rain gauge not in the best place. If it weren't for the really dry ground here the flooding would be a lot worse then it is so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
