Oh damn. I just pointed to that in our private message.![]()
Neat website. They are saying 6-10 feet for Charleston. Ten feet covers over 80 percent of the peninsula.
At our lake, it's interesting watching the interaction between precip and the lake. We're on a peninsula 1,100-1,200 feet wide with 2/3-3/4 of a mile of water on either side. I have about a two-mile view downriver, roughly south, and I love watching a storm make its way upriver.@It Takes Eleven one of the issues with the models that come out about the weather here. There is something weird about how the reservoir affects the weather. It's akin to Moses parting the sea.
Two of my best friends live about three miles from me. On the other side of the reservoir. They get, and I'm not kidding here, twice as much rain as I do. The line of demarcation seems to be the reservoir.
Based on what I see on the radar, and in the sky, and the rain gauge...I'm going to get no more than a quarter of an inch per hour. But, for how long. .15" from 11-12 today.
One of these days I'm going to learn more. I've thought of asking one of the weather folks here in town to lunch one day just to pick their brain. I think it would be a fascinating conversation.At our lake, it's interesting watching the interaction between precip and the lake.

It's not so much of a matter of leaving as it is not going.I have a nephew living in Jacksonville, Fl. I don't think he and his family have ever left during any type of storm.
Yeah, some areas are getting it worse, but it's a long way from ending. This website shows North Charleston in the 8-10 inch range over the last 24 hours.Seek higher ground. Astounding to hear on the news.
8" of rain coming in....
Y'all look at Walterboro...or HWY 17. Two inches or rain, per hour. I've got two inches in the last few hours...and I'm the lucky one.
We are that the "threshold." The ground can't soak in the water. We are usually between 6 to 10" of rain and the land can be absorbent. that.
@It Takes Eleven it takes 6 to 10" of rain to cross the "barrier" of flooding. The land has taken all it can take. Now, we are at a foot in some places. High tide this morning will reveal a lot.
Ya got me thinking...'bout 20% of my life right now is in the Hobie.@TerryP hope you’re doing good and you haven’t had to move to a boat
This is the front yard for the lady that cuts my hair...this morning. And, you are right. It's not over.Yeah, some areas are getting it worse, but it's a long way from ending. This website shows North Charleston in the 8-10 inch range over the last 24 hours.

It's wet. But, so far, I'm ahead of it. I have limbs down off of trees in the back yard. I have to pumps working kicking the water out to the drainage systems. I kid you not, I'm pumping 16,000 gallons of water out of my back yard per hour. Sixteen thousand.Found a new car and a home!
