Tropical depression Fred

[drkelly]

It looks like you guys in the mountains are going to get some significant rain from Fred and may see some flooding.

Freds shaft seems to want to lean right, with significant warmth at the base. That must be where the most moisture is.

5/8" overnight so far. Gutters checked, culverts are clear..... will update later.

Yeah we’re in frog drowning mode bro. We’re in north western Surry about 10 miles from the border and we’ve had 2 inches over the last 3 days and now HARD rain since early morning and expected all day. My driveway will need my magic box blade skillz after today. I hope we don’t get the wind, I have a LOT of tall oaks here.

 

[ponykilr]

Been doing this all morning

 

[Tom@Hilltop_Machine]

We could use it here.

We could use it here.

Don’t mind the rain but my lower steep part of the driveway will look like Moldylocks after that punch to the face she got.

Been working out in it since 8:00. Fred can go FUCK himself!

 

[BRUISER]

we are in a tornado warning here in greenville SC

 

[ponykilr]

I checked the gauge during a lull a few minutes ago and was at 3-1/4” since this morning. Now its falling an absolute monsoon again.

Other than the every hour rain shower, fred has made a pleasant evening on the patio.

I’m floating boys! Flood warning going off in town. Pigeon is outta its banks in some places and looks like we’re gonna get hammered until 7-8 tonight. Water has to come up probably 3-4 ft to start jumping most of the river banks then it’s gonna come up another 3-4 feet to get to the house

We had an interesting afternoon here in Batesburg-Leesville SC. Tornado warning was issued right as kids were being released from school on their 2nd day. Dismissal was halted. We're only about a mile from the school so my wife came home and hung out in the basement. Warning was lifted so she went back to the school and a new warning was issued right about the time she got there. She just sat and waited that one out and finally was able to pick up around 4:30.

Tornado watch for Rockingham County until 7pm. Martinsville is in the watch area. Guess I'm not going to Rural King tonight.

 

[Loganwayne]

looks like we’ll be fine. Suns out and water has to get to the road and still go up 4’ as it spreads across everywhere before it gets to us. My parents are “trapped” main road in is flooded the line I drew on the photo and road over the mountain was told there was a slide.

Interesting flood website I use for work that shows flood gages & radar

[Loganwayne]

still coming up and we have been evacuated

 

[obullfish]

Shit is getting bad in the mountains with flooding and downed trees.

 

[Loganwayne]

Looks like the west fork gauge is dropping. Gauge in town looks like it’s still rising but the predictions look like it’s close to peaking, hopefully so

Monsoons made it to Eden …

 

[Croatan_Kid]

What family I've got left lives in Canton. They're having a rough go with it at the moment.

 

[ponykilr]

You folks in Candler ok?

It got very hairy here last night. Tornadoes all around, phones alerting every few minutes. Being in a mobile home made it more stressful. Not sure I’ve seen rain like that since Fran.

It could never flood here (unless biblical proportion) but I was worried about the trees all around us and my creek culvert.

Will know more when the sun comes up.

 

[Loganwayne]

We got about a foot inside the house. Boat washed away… found it about 300 yards from my house hung in a neighbors fence

 

[awheelterd]

Dang dude that sucks. Is flooding common in your home?
