jm1220 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 At Rutgers game it's cold! Let's go RU I walked outside this evening in 65 degree temps and that feels cold to me now. When I'm home again for Thanksgiving I probably won't be warm unless I blast the heat at my house on max. The South has made me soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Boring where you are, but you guys would be having a field day down here. Places near Waco/Corsicana have 18" or more rain so far, I have just over 4" of rain for the event so far with plenty more to come, and Houston's turn is coming soon. Radar just lit up in the last 6 hours with Patricia making it here. I won't end up with some of the crazier totals, but hopefully this does away with the drought for most of us. I ended up (might not be over yet-models have some more rain overnight) with just over 6" for the event. My neighborhood was one of the low spots for rain totals in Austin-the range here I'd say is 6-11", most areas have about 7". One NW suburb, Jollyville, has 11.2". 4-7am was an absolute deluge with up to an inch per hour for each of those hours. We really lucked out in terms of flooding since we've been so bone dry lately. If the summer had more rain events, there would have been severe flooding in Austin today if not worse. I was kind of worried about a bust given how models trended more towards the Gulf Coast with the heavy rain from Patricia and Dallas with the heavy rain from the frontal boundary, but it came together in the end and this almost puts a nail in the drought. With a Strong Nino this winter, there will likely be more headlines about Texas flooding over the next few months, now that everything is soaked again and we're already looking at another soaking courtesy of the Mexico Firehose next weekend.

bluewave Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The pages are loading as slowly today as if there was a major winter storm.

SnoSki14 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Some major positive departures likely first half of November. With a huge SE ridge like that I wouldn't be surprised if we saw another top 5-10 warmest month in the NYC area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyWx Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Yeah tomorrow looks warm around here, probably 70° for the city. Friday will cool down a lot, and there should be a freeze NW at night. Maybe we'll see mid 60s and even lower 70s near the middle of next week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 in my opinion like many say ..patience will be key ..if you like snow ..not really expecting any pattern flip until mid December. .just my gut feeling. . If we don't get blocking in December it will probably be a toaster bath, obviously we can always get lucky. El Niño are usually back ended like last year.....look for a change around mid January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdp146 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Also three years ago. Was trapped by flood waters (in technically a non-flood zone) with fires burning a few blocks away. No rain/70mph winds. Yeah, that will stay with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rain/70mph winds. Yeah, that will stay with me. image.jpg image.jpg 80-90 mph winds. Don't short change yourself lol. 3 years ago, I started off my day taking wind readings with my handheld anemometer on the water in south Merrick. Later that evening I was in Freeport watching boats float down the street. Then the power went out and I had to drive the wrong way on Merrick Rd to get to the Meadowbrook Parkway bc the other side of Merrick Rd was under multiple feet of water. I got into North Merrick and saw constant power flashes. I notice a large brightning in the sky one block over from my house. There was a power line sitting on a car and sparks were flying in the wind. The car caught fire and the flames were blown clear across the street almost touching the house on the other side of the side of the road. I'll never forget that day/night.

tdp146 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I wasn't active on this board in 2012 but a lot of the hyper local discussion by you, bluewave, JM etc got me to be more active on AmericanWX. I was living in long long beach but left to ride out the storm at my parents in massapequa. They were pretty close to the FEMA flood zone but were technically not in it becuae there house is at a high point in the area. We didn't really have anywhere else to go so we stayed. Figured 'worst case' scenario would be water a few blocks from us in all directions for a couple hours at peak surge and that would be that. Well, when I saw water coming down our block I knew we were in trouble becaue the whole Block is outside of the '100 year' flood zone. Then when it started creeping up the driveway with 30 minutes till high tide it just turned to a sick, helpless feeling. Then, about 15 feet from the front door, the water stops and slowly starts to back off. Thought the worst was over and went to make a drink! Not 60 seconds later I look out again and see it- the fires. Stomach sank. All night I had seen the transformers going and even the glow of what I though might be Fire wayy in the distance, but now I saw actual flames in the air. Big flames. Again, no rain, wind still ripping, we are still surrounded by water in every direction. That was scary. The only way out was going to be entering the water and walking (swimming?) out. And that is scary as hell to think about with all the power lines down. For whatever reason, the fire (as I learned the next day) stayed confined to a handful of houses and our family actually made it out with little damage. The metal images will never go away though.

MJO812 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I remember people were calling bust because there was nothing going on during the day here in NYC. As the nigh approached, the wind really started to pick up along with the surge. I lost power around 8pm that night. All of a sudden, my mom told me to come up stairs and look out the window. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A wall of water started to come down my block. That has never happened here before ( I live a few blocks away from the water ). My area turned into an ocean. At that time, I was working in CVS . The place was flooded and closed for a month. I was working with my friend doing plumbing for a while until the store was fixed. I stayed over my aunt's house for 2 days because I didn't have no power or heat. I will never forget waking up that Monday morning and looking at the models and seeing how low the pressure was. It was insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
