I love Rain. I lived for 15 mo in a desert with a short monsoon season, came back and 4mo later I was in El Paso for two years. If it flooded I would revel in it.

And now you're in Montana. Just in time for the white shit season!
Thankfully the rain stopped yesterday. Sooner than expected and not soon enough for me. River stages here crested at levels not seen since 1972. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre sustained some nasty flooding as did portions of Harrisburg and York. Quite a few places dodged that bullet due to lessons learned from hurricane Agnes.
The little village of Klingerstown where my plant is located got the shit kicked out of it with several residents losing damn near everything.

Come to north-west Jersey - you'll be up to your neck in water.
Was gorgeous yesterday and then I woke up at 3 AM with a screaming migraine and then the rains came. My body feels like I've been run over. I can feel every hunk of metal in my back and my left eye feels like it's going to pop.

North-west NJ is the same watershed as the Poconos. The only difference down stream is that the Delaware handled the runoff better than the Susquehanna and took less intense rainfall totals.
NJ and eastern PA are in the Delaware watershed and central PA is part of the Chesapeake.
Oddly, the Schuylkill river drains into the Delaware basin even though it runs through the Chesapeake watershed.
The Susquehanna river basin includes both the east and west branches of the Susquehanna and the Juniata rivers. The east and west branches converge at Sunbury and the Juniata meets them just above Harrisburg.
Dats a lotta water!

No kidding. My perception is skewed for the issue of water the last few years. It's no joke regardless when someone loses their stuff or their homes suffer a ton of water damage.

Yeah, John kind of pissed me off when he tried to say what a dud that hurricane Irene was. I told him so on the phone too. Just because I didn't suffer, what everyone surrounding me is still suffering is certainly not the result of a dud.

When Irene was going on we had beautiful weather around Buffalo. Irene must have sucked all the humidity and crap out of our air and dumped it on everyone else. Then we did get some rain and humidity back as the shit blew back this way.
RE: Rain rain go away - LKTraz - 09-11-2011
Twist, what you got and what dumped on central PA was a combination of first a front that came out of the west and then that stalled and along with Katia moving north it channeled the remnants of Lee with a little bit of Katia's moisture right up the Delmarva and a corridor centered pretty much over the Susquehanna river.
It was a really rare circumstance.

Well WTF? It's raining again today. We got about half a day of nice weather yesterday and we were promised a lovely day today. It's been raining for over a week straight now! I can't take it any longer. How do they do it in Seattle or England?! It's depressing to say the least.
RE: Rain rain go away - LKTraz - 09-11-2011
Ah yes....weather in Seattle.
The forecast only varies between these choices:
Either a little or a lot of......
Warm rain
Cold rain
Frozen rain
White fluffy rain
