Hurricane Debby

Can't recall such a warm/humid cane, maybe because its still early August. Feel like most Canes we have its like low 70s temp wise

There’s just not any real cool dry air available in the Midwest yet for it to pull down on the back side. If it were about 3 or 4 weeks later that would be a different story
 
To be honest Tuesday was great down here. Raining cats and dogs sure, but temps were in the low 70s and dewpoints were 71-73 here. May have been the dry air mixing in who knows. Yesterday was just nasty humid though.

This new band is putting water down quite efficiently dangit

It came through here earlier and I picked up .62” in about 20 minutes. Now there’s a huge complex moving up from the lowcountry overnight. I may yet get to 15” total if it holds together.

The 3k nam nailed that band. Been showing it on previous runs all day today

The WRF-ARW2 also had that band. I was insistent that would happen, especially when sun broke out and shot temps to 92 officially at KCHS. picked up several waves of very heavy rain, but currently missing those two death bands .. barely north of me. Those two bands have dumped 4" of rain over northern Dorchester County in the last 90 minutes or so.
 
First frame of this loop was 9:51pm. I was at 11.53...

Last frame is 10:20 and I'm at 12.73........that's 1.2 inches in half an hour

That's nuts. Im.not on that pace thankfully but I just had a frog strangular for the books. Went from 11.53 to 13.22 in 50 minutes so 1.7 inches in under an hourKLTX - Digital Storm Total Accum., 10_31 PM.png
 
I don’t know how places like Moncks Corner aren’t under a flood warning. They had a good bit of rain Tuesday and Wednesday and have been under that band for a couple of hours now.
 
I checked my garage for the 1st time since the rain ended on Wednesday and noticed I have standing water in a small portion of my garage (along a wall) and that doors to a storage room on that side are wrinkled on the bottom despite the water having receded where they are. (see pic below) Also, cardboard boxes for things I’ve stored in there for years are damp up 6”.

It appears the water came in from below the sides of the garage door. I had thought all was ok with the house despite getting 11” over 3 days til I saw this! I got more from Matthew in 2016 within a shorter period and don’t recall much, if any, water in the garage.

Although the water has receded a good bit, the fact that there’s still 1/4” of standing water in a corner along and near a paneled wall (water barely touching baseboard) 3 days after the heaviest of Debby is a little concerning. I don’t know if the slowness to dry will lead to any issues.

It’s covered by FEMA Flood insurance, but the deductible is 2K. And filing a claim would likely increase my premium. I think the key is whether or not I’ll need a water mitigation company, which usually charge many thousands just to put in fans and dehumidifiers. If I don’t, I’d think the max damage would be below the 2K (replace doors and baseboard).

I don’t understand people having the desire to stand in sewer water. I know the pandemic is over but it’s nasty and can easily catch something. I see a lot of older people doing this for pictures with Hurricane Debby. 🤢
