East Coast Flooding...what are you seeing?

Myrtle Beach, SC
RAIN! Beach front flooding. The two roads that cross Murrells Inlet were under water at high tide yesterday.
Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink.

Rain has quit here in the mountains, for a while. Another wet year here again.

Here in Maryland, 25 miles north of DC and about 30 miles west of Baltimore...not much. It rained all day Friday, but we never received any of the heavy rain bands. Considering that we were looking at an Armageddon-like forecast earlier in the week, with the nor'easter dumping large quantities of rain and Joaquin making a direct hit on the D.C. area, this is just cold, rainy and nasty.

" ... this is just cold, rainy and nasty."

That sure sums it up here in northeast Connecticut. Altho' we're still about six inches shy of our average annual rainfall, we got about five inches of rain over the past 24 hours.

I'll be giving tours of our Sturbridge orchards this weekend. Or at least to folks who brave the cold and rain.

As of 9:30 AM

Luckily we only got 2+ yesterday, so the ponds got a chance to empty out from Thursdays heavy rains.

Were worried about our friends in New Jersey, who had tremendous water damage when Sandy went through. Now the high tides threaten them again. Our prayers go out to them and others in the same situation. PJ

Roads flooding in Norfolk VA area... Tomorrow is going to be interesting, flooding wise... Tomorrow is supposed to be the worst day around here.

Been raining here seems like forever! But we've needed it, so can't really complain. And it's supposed to be moving out of here today; the upcoming few days look pretty good.

Didn't stop the British V8 crowd from the annual gathering this weekend. Some intrepid souls invaded a few days ago and we had a great time visiting and made a couple of short drives. Good to see everyone, and looking forward to next May's gathering here.

We've had a fair amount of rain here too (raining right now in fact), but we have need the moisture also so can't complain.

We live in Socastee, a small community surrounded by Myrtle Beach; 17.8 " here for this event. No problems though.

My wife and I have spent the last two days trying to help local flood victims here in Columbia SC:
has reminded me how lucky we are:

this massive apt. complex (700-800 units in five different wings) we are working at, is a total loss. The water level covered the entire first floor.
fEMA will not let these folks remove anything that was submerged. Due to the threat of disease. Including all the cars in the parking lot.( though they are being picked up now). FEMA has already condemned the property. Everybody who lived here, must be out by tomorrow. But at least there is a small army of volunteers to help.

this event also reminds me, I'm to old to be lifting refrigerators, etc.!

Hope the Feds & state come thru for these folks.
so far fema is all over it.

Most of these cars were submerged and have been abandoned by there owners.

i did like the Kids T-shirts though.

We bought our Minor Traveller from a guy in Columbia, SC last July. So sad to hear about what has happened there.
