[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in NW Connecticut and we are supposed to get almost 5” of rain today and 4 tomorrow. Insane![/quote]

- Del Ray, where we got 5 inches in one hour. [/quote]

It’s definitely a competition. I guess I should have told my youngest daughter to shaddap and go back to sleep because it was…worse in Del Ray?

I don't mean to make it into a competition, but it got really tiring a week ago when people were constantly posting about how SOME homes in Del Ray flooded, and they don't know how people could live in a place like this with rivers, etc, but having zero idea of just how much torrential the rain was in such a short period of time.

And I guarantee the same people sh!tting on Del Ray experiencing flooding are the same people who are now like: "omg, so much rain!" 2" in an hour, or 4-5" in a day is nothing. Laughably nothing.

That said I sincerely hope everyone and their home is safe and without damage. [/quote]

Well, I’m the CT poster and despite living 12 years of my life in DC I’d never heard of Del Ray (I’m guessing you mean the neighborhood of Alexandria and not Delray Beach in FL?), so that wasn’t me. 5” of rain in a day is a lot, especially after the soaking we got last weekend. Of course 5” in a hour is even crazier, how much rain did you get outside of that hour? I typically live in Brooklyn, NY and we had major flash floods and about 4” in an hour last Saturday, which was intense.

This has been such a rainy/cool summer, kind of a bummer all around. Obviously the absolute worst for people badly impacted by the storms, but not pleasant for us all. [/quote]
