Mejane Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It is raining buckets here in CT. I'm not complaining, though; we need it badly. Just hope we don't lose our power later when the wind kicks up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 :seeya: Us, here in Fairfax County, Va. In fact, right now we have the NOAA Wx radio on as there are numerous torndado statements issued for us and the surrounding areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'm spending my birthday cleaning water out of my basement while juggling an infant (who is currently nursing). It's forecasted to rain until 8:00pm. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakia Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It has rained for days here in Western NC. As of right now, it isn't raining, but the clouds are looking promising for later. We need the rain, but it would be nice to get out and enjoy the fall temperatures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayle in Guatemala Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It's been absolutely horrible here all summer long. It started with Hurricane Agatha--mudslides, sinkholes, lots of death and destruction--and is continuing with one tropical storm after another either off the carribean coast or the Pacific coast. It's been raining now for about 3 days straight and again there are mudslides and sinkholes and flooding. I'm ready for it to be over.

NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 pretty much non-stop. Tornado warning in effect until 1pm. I hope it stops before tonight. I have to take the boys to karate and I HATE DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It's been raining here for days. It's good for the lawns my husband has aerated and seeded, but he's not getting much work in this week. Though we needed rain, I am looking forward to the 70 degree days with sunny skies just around the corner. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 No rain yet, but we have a weather warning. Ooops, sorry, make that two weather warnings. One for rain and one for high winds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Soaking over here, and hoping it'll be enough to lift our burn ban and allow us to use our outdoor fire pit soon! We've been waiting to get one for so long, and have only been able to use it once so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 The wind has just started to pick up. We've got a tornado warning too. Yuck. I just hope the rain dies down a bit around 3pm when I have to pick up dd15 from school. It was nasty driving her in this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Thanks for the tornado info--I'm in Fairfax County like Marianne, and I'm going to turn the radio on! It's currently pouring here in Lorton. I drove dd to school today. At 8:15, the water had risen under the bridge (little bridge, 25-30 feet long and not high) we go over every day. I would not be surprised to find it flooded--I'll have to remember to go around if I pick her up today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter's Moon Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Here, in Western Mass. I'm loving it though. Can't wait for the wind tonight :lol: (No, I really am not being sarcastic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saille Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 We're expecting as much as five inches here in upstate NY. It rained out a playdate we had scheduled for today, but then another hs mom contacted me to say that her kids were stir crazy and could we please come over. :lol: It's a great motivator to finish seatwork!

NanceXToo Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Yep, flood warnings til 8 PM tonight here in PA. PLEASE cross your fingers that tomorrow turns out to be a nice day! It's calling for a 50 percent chance of rain in the morning and saying "mostly sunny" in the afternoon- tomorrow is my daughter's 10th birthday and for the first time EVER I have an outdoor party planned- a carnival type theme with a bounce house, face painting and so on, starting late in the afternoon. It's already probably going to be muddy which stinks. But man please don't let it rain!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInTheBlue Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 We were soaked on Saturday like that. Buckets and buckets poured and poured for a really long time. I was at a college football game and they had to pause the game for about an hour and half. It really was an incredible amount of rain.

sleepymommy Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Buckets here in central Va. too. We needed it though too. I'm spending my birthday cleaning water out of my basement while juggling an infant (who is currently nursing). It's forecasted to rain until 8:00pm. :glare: Aw!

juelle Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I love that I have only to come to this forums for my news and local weather!:D Guess I'd better cook dinner now. Our school district cancelled all evening activities. I love the wind, too, but I hope we don't have to bail out the basement AGAIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 The rain is just letting up here, and then we are in for several cooler days. I am planning to bake bread, read, and nap for the rest of the afternoon in honor of the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 We're in eastern NC and it's been raining non-stop for days. The schools are closed in our county as well as a few adjacent counties. I think it's supposed to stop sometime tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My3Boys Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'm spending my birthday cleaning water out of my basement while juggling an infant (who is currently nursing). It's forecasted to rain until 8:00pm. :glare: I once spent my birthday in the ER with my youngest ds (he was 3) when he fell running up the stairs and 2 of his bottom teeth went right through his bottom lip. He was still hungry afterwards though and had no problem eating a BBQ ham sandwich. Kids! :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My3Boys Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 We're in Lancaster County, PA. It has been raining buckets with lots of wind. Several schools in the county let out at 1pm. I had to drive to a dr appt this morning through the worst of it, on a 2 lane country road with lots of flooding from pastures right into the road. Not fun. I think it is supposed to let up by this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdalley Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'm not sure it's every going to stop raining here. I haven't seen anything like this since Hurricane Floyd in 99. We're on a hill/slope but the roads are awful. And even though DH didn't have to go to work today he did. I guess if I had the choice of a deserted office or home with a sick grumpy wife and three boys who haven't been able to get out since Monday I'd chose the office too. :tongue_smilie: Can you tell the constant rain is helping my mood?;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyce Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 we ended up getting about 7 in in 2 days. Wilmington and beaches around there got 13-14 inches and there was severe flooding, some main roads are still closed. Fortunately we didn't get a lot of flooding but we do have standing water in our yard. When that happens to us we know we've had a lot of water. It rarely happens and usually only during hurricanes etc. Glad it's over but we did need it. I'd just have preferred a more gentler version over several days.

Nature Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Here in MN, we've finally had some sunny days, but the last couple weeks, we've had a lot of rain. There has been some flooding and road closures in southern MN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bethben Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I live in southern MN and we had 10.5 inches of rain in 36 hours. Our sump pump failed and the insurance adjuster was here today. We spent 3 days tearing out soaked carpet pad and still have fans on. In case you're wondering, 10.5 inches is what a hurricane dumps in its duration. It's sunny and we're drying off!

Denisemomof4 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 We are in NH, but we also need it badly. I'm just so thankful for the cool weather. Heat just zaps the life out of me. The cool breeze is lovely at the moment. We'll have to close the windows because severe downpours are expected and the entire state is under a flood warning.

Blossom'sGirl Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 We are. Our crick, which was bone dry last week, has now overflowed an entire field. My boys are playing Wii Sports Resort right now and and the sky looks so blue and the grass so green. I wish I could go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
