quote:Yes. Just mentioned in my post above: it's fine to assume if the water is rushing up the drainage walls that you can head up the street to higher ground...until you run into a wall of mud, trees and rocks. Try climbing a waterlogged mountainous slope in the dark with panick setting in and water rising behind you and 3 kids and a wife in tow and it's not hard to imagine how flooding in terrain like that can easily take lives. You get caught up in that flooding and there's no doggy paddling your way out of it. You're going down the drainage with the flood.
We vacation in Kauai every summer and I have seen the extent of mountain flooding. They got over 40” dumped in 24 hours in 2018 and they had mudslides and chunks of hills wash away entire roads and bridges on the north side. I was amazed when we went in 2019 and saw sides of hills and mountains just sheared off.

Yeah Danny hit for like 3 days. It was a bitch but still that motherfricker wouldn’t leave.

Stayed in st thomas VI in April.
We had a rainstorm that came in the afternoon/evening.
I've never seen so much water flowing downhill that fast in my life.
Idk how people do it out there

I said you were a great poster so, actually, you may be correct after all.

Found a spot on velocity with a measurement of 151.2 mph. Of course, that’s not at the surface, but still shows the increasing power of Helene.

At 16:55 UTC, Ida made its third, and final, landfall near Port Fourchon, Louisiana, with sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h) and a central pressure of 931 mbar (27.49 inHg), tying the 1856 Last Island hurricane and Hurricane Laura as the strongest landfalling hurricane on record in Louisiana
Day storm...

am over in Ponte Vedra Beach.
Just north of you in Neptune Beach and the gusts are really picking up. Probably 40+. We have tons of skinny tall oaks and a 1 month old baby, so any further shift east will be hairy.
