No, no one was predicting the level of flooding that occurred. I read that thread for days leading up to and during the flood. I posted in that thread when I learned via Facebook that we flooded. Everyone kept reassuring each other that area x,y, or z should be ok. Then it wasn't. So pardon me for not feeling warm and fuzzy about the guarantees. None of the weather experts in this thread are going to make such a guarantee since they understand and respect the dynamics and lack of predictability these storms entail.

Anyone else surprised they aren't more closures?


ATL has been under severe flash-flood warning since noon. It won't be lifted till 7:15pm est. Piedmont Ave in front of the practice has about 2.5" of standing water streaming down the avenue towards the lower levels. The roads are packed as everyone is leaving work early and summer camps and summer classes are being released early. Cluster duck on all interstates and loops.

Correct.... plus there will be times that it is not raining during this event that will help.... the track of this storm is crucial... a western turn towards sat LC and The BR area could get up to 6-7 inches.... it just sitting there is ok for now, but any northwest movement from this point AND if it keeps moving as slow as it is could have drastic effects esp along the coast.....

That's because it ended up stalling more than they originally thought so obviously it dumped buckets more rain on us. Just take the rain estimates with a grain of salt because anything can happen. They're good for seeing where it might be at the time but don't think it's going to be the same 2 days from now because it's no doubt going continue shifting. It could shift to lower or higher. Closer it gets to land the more accurate you'll see these estimates. It gives you a general idea. Prepare now don't wait for the worst to come to you. Don't know how many disasters here it's going to take some people to realize this. Yeah, I know being captain obvious here but really...

Why do you still pretend to know what you are talking about?

If anyone is interested in that sort of thing, the Rouse/Leblanc's off Drusilla is very calm right now and still filled with supplies.

What I posted is pretty much what is going on with the storm and the track and speed of the storm is very important to who is effected and how much....


GFY.......

Exactly. My daddy didn't raise a complete fool. I'm at Winn Dixie now

Gotta ensure we are stocked up on water, sandwich stuff, baby stuff, wine and beer. The essentials!
