AMC RULES 37,130 #1 Posted July 10, 2023 Appears our local infrastructure took a major hit in yesterdays afternoon rainstorm. Apparent now that if and when I can get back to work, it I'm going to be there for awhile. 22 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,000 #2 Posted July 10, 2023 Oh Boy, that's not good. That's a HUGE amount of rain in such a short time Alerts are going off here on the TV all morning but don't think it's going to be as bad as you got it. You're safe and good? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,506 #3 Posted July 10, 2023 Be safe and careful out there Craig. I've never experienced a rain like that but I saw the after results of it when one of the hurricanes went through Vermont and NH a decade or more ago. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,886 #6 Posted July 10, 2023 Wow. We’re more than 8” behind on rain, but would prefer that it is spread over some time… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #7 Posted July 10, 2023 Wow Craig! Late yesterday and last night it came through my area. I am sure similar results. They are talking 5-8” of rainfall in a few hours as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,178 #10 Posted July 10, 2023 Amazing the destruction water can cause and when harnessed, the constructive power of hydro. Grand Coulee hydro turbines producing 8,000,000 HP , generating enough electricity to supply two Seattle size cities. Be safe Craig...hope you didn't suffer any personal property damage. We are expecting severe flooding here along the lower Susquehanna River in a few days. The enter river basin through central Pa. got 6-8" of rain yesterday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,461 #12 Posted July 10, 2023 We are dying for rain here in central MD. Everything is so dry. Yesterday looked like the best chance in weeks. It started to rain lightly as we left the house for Shrewsbury, PA, 29 miles northeast. The rain increased until at about 2 PM, where it was coming down at a rate of 4 inches per hour in the Shrewsbury area. As we headed home, the rain decreased. It stopped about 10 miles from home where we had gotten maybe a trace amount. Funny how nature works. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike'sHorseBarn 2,998 #13 Posted July 10, 2023 My in laws got about 6.5 inches from 1130am to roughly 1245pm. Took out our bridge at camp and there were places flooded I've never seen flooded in my 33 years of life. At my house just 8 miles up the road we only had 2 inches all day. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill D 1,921 #14 Posted July 10, 2023 Train service is currently suspended between Poughkeepsie and Croton Harmon. I made it from Poughkeepsie to Beacon yesterday before my train was terminated. Took the train back to Poughkeepsie and spent the rest of the day on standby. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
