Yes, I'd been watching that......looking good for yet another weathered off shark trip

I think this one will update every few hours.

 

 

And lest you think it is missing you by a great deal of distance, the storm is pretty large.

All,

 

Maybe a silver lining. Certainly you can expect a "pending low pressure" system. I've found fishing right before a dramatic drop to generally be good fortune.

Earlier predictions had it over Scotland on Sunday - now got it 2 days later...

Let's hope they don't send us the rain as well as the wind.

An extreme rainfall event unprecedented in recorded history has hit the Binghamton, New York area, where 7.49" fell yesterday.

 

This is the second year in a row Binghamton has recorded a 1-in-100 year rain event; their previous all-time record was set last September, when 4.68" fell on Sep 30 - Oct. 1, 2010.

 

Records go back to 1890 in the city.

 

The skies have now cleared in Binghamton, with this morning's rain bringing the city's total rainfall for the 40-hour event to 9.02".

 

However, another large region of rain lies just to the south in Pennsylvania, and all of the rivers in the surrounding region are in major or record flood.

 

The Susquehanna River at Binghamton is at 25.18', its highest level since records began in 1847, and is expected to overtop the flood walls protecting the city this afternoon.

 

In Hershey, Pennsylvania, Swatara Creek is 18' over flood stage, and more than 8' above its record flood crest.

 

Widespread flash flooding is occurring across the entire area, and over 125,000 people have been evacuated from their homes.

As of today

 

Hurricane Katia

Hurricane Katia brushed by Newfoundland, Canada this morning, and is now racing east-northeast at 52 mph into the open Atlantic. With water temperatures 19°C (66°F) underneath it, Katia has lost its tropical characteristics, and has transitioned to a powerful extratropical storm. Extratropical Storm Katia will continue east-northeastward towards Europe, and on Monday, the storm will pass very close to northern British Isles.

 

The offshore waters of Northern Ireland and Western Scotland can expect storm-force winds of 50 - 60 mph on Monday as Katia roars past to the north. The storm will bring 2 - 4 inches of rain to the coast, and likely cause significant tree damage and power failures.

I see the american have now joined the British in the ridiculous practise of mixing up imperial and metric systems......What exactly is "9.02 inches"? or "4.68 inches"???? nonsense
