afterimage Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Absolutely amazing lightning here on my deck tonight to the north, literally non-stop. We picked up 3" in this morning's action, flooding everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Picked up 0.38" here today. Some of the models are firing convection over the local region early tomorrow morning. Looks like a repeat of this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Flood Advisory has been issued for NE Wayne County, 1-2" of rain has fallen with an additional 1" of rain possible. Still nothing to write home about IMBY. Have been getting some light rain, but most of the action has been literally a mile or two to my south.

That seems like the best option. It looks like there's flooding at I-94 and Gratiot too. Hopefully it dries up before the morning commute...

hm8 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 K I was at Cedar Point all day but came back home to find some locally significant flooding on my street. There's some flooding that my dad's only seen once or twice in 20 years living here. Piecing together some info it seems like the storms that moved through this evening dropped "only" about 1.5", but did so damn quickly. Some local stations from wunderground show rates at like 4-5" per hour. So I guess that combined with the other rain we've had here lately explains the rare flooding we have on our hands here now (big runoff river running across the yard, landscaping washed into pool...)

Damn man, I didn't think it was bad up your way. I can't even imagine how bad it might be if we have some slow moving storms over the entire metro area anytime in the next week or so.

I'm in West Bloomfield btw right now, not Ann Arbor. But yeah flash flooding on saturated grounds man. Certainly the worse I've seen here since 2011 I think when some training storms rolled through.

nwburbschaser Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I really enjoy these types of thunderstorms. Nothing will ever top the July 23, 2011 storm, but I'm enjoying the constant lightning/thunder at the moment. That's one thing this summer has been missing.
