Topic: Long Night for Carter Lake

[PSJohn]

Look like Carter Lake is in for a Long night tonight



Hope all remains well there tonight!

Yeah, nothing serious yet... except an absolute downpour of rain and lots of lightning.

Three times the siren has sounded but for tornados quite a distance away.

My concern is all the water.... streets are nearly bank full... school yard across the way is a swimming pool.

I've got a drip in the kitchen where two roof seams meet. Have to get up there tomorrow and have a looksee.

I've been listening to your radio for the past hour or so. Its quite active!

So is the lightning...


I'm sure you've been through this before, but take care of yourself.

Yeah, if not the concern about water... I'd be in bed... I love to sleep to the sound of rain and thunder.

Be careful out there.  

Looks like NoQuitters is getting hammered with the rain too.   He's showing 2.83" last 24 hrs at the time of this post.

With another 3 on the way by Tuesday morning.  
Only been two sirens so far and some hail but just like Tom, a ton of rain. Streets are under water, streams out of their banks, etc. Here's the one just south of me that I took some pics and video of this morning about 3 hours after it all started: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=eax&gage=opdk1&view=1,1,1,1,1,1
I'll post the pics and video when it all calms down.

As it stands right now I am under a flood watch, tornado watch, and severe t-storm warning. Batten down the hatches Tom, it's going to be a long couple of days.

Yeah... round 2 is just hitting us... looks like we just clipped the tip of it (thankfully).

I did some stuff around to help (hopefully).

Always have to look on the brighter side... Missouri Valley (small town north of here) is pretty much under water... and I-29 is closed due to flooding. They've called for a voluntary evacuation of the town.
