Scott_inVA going under already!

#1 Postby Scott_inVA » Wed Aug 30, 2006 10:40 pm

1.75-4 inches of rain up here where I am already...not from Ernesto, just RA+ near the boundary.

A mudslide has closed a road near me, we're under a flash flood warning and a car has driven into a house hydroplaning off the road.

Doppler estimates piling up tonight...ENC 3-6 inches as of 11:30PM. Generally, 24 hour FFG is ~4.5 inches so this does not bode well for what's going to happen in VA/NC on Thursday and Friday.

Ain't gonna be fun :roll:

No flooding reported so far in Norfolk. I'll check the local news at noon for ya. NE North Carolina, on the other hand, had 7.3 inches in the last 24 hours.
