kvegas-wx Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I think I just saw Pennywise on the side of the road in Kernersville. He asked me if I wanted to float. This current pattern is incredible. I certainly dont recall the last time we had rain for nearly 2 weeks straight in July/August. I gave up on using my rain gauge. I'll need to switch to a 5 gallon bucket! Definitely some street flooding across the Triad this morning. Watch out for "It". :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheronNC Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Is ITB Raleigh always a rain hole like it's been this year since I moved here? It's hilarious sitting under a Flash Flood Warning with only a T with radar drying up while 10 miles west is getting inches upon inches. I just turned our sprinklers on since through this PWAT 2.0"+ pattern all week I've picked up 0.62" (and only 0.02" over the past 4 days). You'd think southern Johnston County had mountains the way the storms always get shredded / go into outflow mode when trying to move in from the south, or that Durham/Chapel Hill benefit from orthographic lift the way they're running 15"+ of ITB Raleigh this year so far.

If I hadn't mowed I wouldn't have been able to find my house when I got home. As it was, it choked my mower a few times. Basically what my Deere was telling me was, I can cut the grass or I can carry your fat ass up the hill, but not both at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 First time we had no rain before noon in almost 2 weeks. Woohoo, got my swamp mowed, had to raise the height of the mower deck so it wouldn't stall constantly but it's done. Steamy out there at 90/80.
