Pattern August Rush 2020

[Rain Cold]

Oh that wasn't a complaint on my end, more of an astonishment on ya'lls successes!

Imma take my 1.5 with a smile. i could have been goose egged like RSG.

Yeah totally agree. I was just kind of thinking that 1.5 is normally a pretty big total, but it seems like chump change compared to 3+ inches. I was actually really surprised with the outcome around here going into the day. Most of the discussion from the NWS was around the western piedmont and the chances for big totals and severe weather there. Probably going to be a while before we can bust out the mowers!

Depressing seeing everyone get more rain in August than I did the entire summer. 11.4 for the whole summer is absolutely pathetic considering what everyone else got. So glad it's over!

@smast16 how about a 90 day rainfall map now? It'll be a different story than the last one!

Kind of shocking to see a lot of areas south of 85 had the same bad luck. Sure didn't seem that way as it was happening!

Raleigh ain't my town but we were riding go-carts and headed to Chueys and were near hollywood Blvd. Had traffic backed up as a u-haul rental had a bunch of their trucks and trailers washed sway under a bridge.

Consider yourself lucky, less humidity, less mowing, less weeds, less mosquitoes, less mud, less...

Definitely wasn't any mud and only cut grass every 2 weeks roughly!! But I didn't escape the misery of humidity unfortunately lol

CHA finished 2.1 degrees above normal.. and that was mostly from the warmer low temps.

Unsure how many have followed this story but very tragic and heartbreaking. IVO Smithfield, Mother and 2 young children in a car were swept in to a creep along Gaillee Rd, call came in ~1am, first responders put 4 boats in the water, creek is about 1 mile from Neuse, all 4 boats capsized. Rescuers saved the mother and had hands on her son but he slipped out. Body of the 5yr girl was found on the 2nd full day of search.

Bodies of missing brother and sister, 4 and 5, both found after Smithfield flooding

Johnston County Sheriff Steve Bizzell said the bodies of 5-year-old Alexa and her 4-year-old brother Abraham have both been found.

About 3-4 pixels N of Four Oaks is the location where this happened
