DUers in the Carolinas, Virginia, PA, MD, DE, NJ, report in:

[Redstone]

Are you all OK? We're getting the Big Weather today here in southern New England, but I don't think it will be quite as bad (though it's not going to be any fun) here as it's been for you guys.

Stay safe, would you? Don't go anywhere where a tree could fall on you.

1. So I guess the 10 inches of rain that parts of Maryland got

including storm surge from the Chesapeake Bay isn't registering on your radar....:P
Seriously, we had a lot of local flooding around here and I've NEVER EVER seen the bay surge like that without a full fledged tropical storm/or hurricane being involved.

[Redstone]

2. Oops, sorry, I forgot MD and DE. I've fixed that mistake. And here I am, the

geography / map expert (I can label every state on a blank outline map), and I left two states out.

Mea culpa.

3. Here in GSO, NC, we had flash flooding yesterday.

In the usual places mind. Today is a beautiful day though. No real wind - just quick rising water in streams that usually have a trickle. Happens all the time in these places - and it can come so quick... yesterday I went up a road and it was just OK, 20 minutes later going back DOWN the same road the police were out and guiding traffic as the stream had overflowed, flooded the baseball pitch and park area and flooded part of the road.

4. Lots of rain in central NH and VT is getting dumped. Flood warning up.

But nothing like you folks down south

You all stay dry and stay safe.

:hug:

5. It was freakin' POURING last night!

I went out today and I spotted a big tree snapped in half a block away from me! I'm in Pen Argyl, PA, about 10 miles from the Poconos.

6. NC here....

isolated flooded roads in our area.....but...Highway 17 at Holden Beach was partially closed yesterday (along with smaller secondary roads) due to flooding.

[Blue_Tires]

7. some flooding because Norfolk doesn't drain quickly

but i'm fine...My trash can did get toppled over leaving me with a rush cleanup job this morning on the way to work...

[HopeHoops]

8. Wet, but okay. I had to retrieve the trash cans from OZ this morning.

One of the girls was supposed to bring them in yesterday evening. She forgot. The wind was nasty as hell about 3 A.M. and it rained most of the night. It is somewhat cool but rather pleasant right now.

On Edit: Harrisburg, PA area - helps to give a point of reference, eh?

[Bossy Monkey]

9. Thanks for asking; Columbia SC made out fine n/t

[Jamastiene]

10. NC here, inland a little.

We had some flooding, but we didn't end up with 20 something inches like some areas in the eastern part of the state.

We also lucked out and didn't get any tornadoes in my area.

The eastern part of the state had at least 3 Doppler indicated tornadoes that I counted.

That little boy died this morning. He was one of the twins in the car crash in Creswell, NC. :(

People on the coast cannot get around without comparing notes with each other on local news sites, because the DOT web site is not updated. There are roads that are flooded, but not listed on the DOT web site. So people are asking each other about safe routes.

11. Yes, I'm ok. Thanks for asking. Schools here were closed, though,

because of road conditions. I actually lost electricity the night before when there was just minor rain.

[LynneSin]

12. Reporting in from Lake Delaware

[BillStein]

13. a lot of flooding around here

I heard my area (Delaware County) got the worst of it... major flooding along the waterways, especially Darby Creek.

[Redstone]

14. I heard that Delco got hammered even worse than Montco. I checked in with

my siblings who live in Montco, and they're doing OK except for th traffic tie-ups.

15. I live in west-central Montco.

I heard on Channel 3 news that Graterford got 10.55" of rain! That's not far from where I am.

[Redstone]

18. I used to live in Skippack, and had a creek in my back yard. Fortunately,

the house was about fifteen feet higher than the creek banks, so I'm assuming the place is OK today. Not that it matters, since I don't own the place anymore and have not for almost thirty years...but we have thes emotional connections, don't we?

Redstone

[mvd]

20. Yes, we do

Fortunately my house near Collegeville is ok. It doesn't flood easily - we've had a couple problems with the basement before (not now) - but someone died in flooding in Collegeville itself. That was tragic.

We did need the rain. Just too bad it came all at once in a short period. The sun is out now, though! Have a nice day, Redstone. :hi:

[mnhtnbb]

16. We had a new, unplanned feature to the house we're building: indoor pool!

The roofers didn't get here this week, but they are coming tomorrow.

Actually, no damage to the house. It's really not that bad and should dry out inside.

We had 8" in Chapel Hill from Sunday through Thursday a.m.--half of that was Wednesday through Thursday.

Wilmington apparently broke its record--more rain than when a hurricane came through about 10 years ago.

[TorchTheWitch]

17. Today was the first day the sun came back out in days

Yesterday and last night it POURED rain and the wind was pretty ripping at times. This after days of cloudy rainy crappy weather. So it appears that it's over here now.

Hell, we really needed the rain anyway. Hadn't barely a drop of it since June.

This is Delaware County, PA, btw.

[Flaxbee]

19. A little water in the basement in northwestern Virginia ...

but no big deal. Very very heavy rain last night, though, and strong gusting wind that started last night and hasn't let up (though it is beautiful and sunny today). Power out for 5 or so hours yesterday, too, but back on by dark. All in all, everything's OK.

Hang on up there. From an earlier post of yours, Redstone, sounds like you're prepared! I have to confess to loving big storms, to an extent of course - that extent being human or animal injuries, or property damage.

[taterguy]

21. Checking in. Not ok, Very not ok

Not safe either.

[TK421]

22. We had a tree go down by our driveway, which crushed a fence

other than that, nothing really major

[ProdigalJunkMail]

23. had some pretty nasty stuff last night up in

Burlington VT...and then drove down to Manchester NH this morning and drove through some blinding stuff. By the time I was in Manchester the weather was calm...

24. sw Virginia here
