Raining Buckets in SoWal and Emerald Coast

[DuneLaker]

We're getting so much rain, even the Weather Channel is talking about the deluge along the Emerald Coast this Monday, Sept. 14, 2009. Rain started this morning and has kept up a pretty good pace through 1 p.m. CST. Ours seems to be coming from the south and moving west to east. Our Texas buddies are getting hit also, but their's appears to be more east to west in the Fort Worth/Dallas area. Coastal Dune Lakes are filling up. Concerned about areas and roads that are prone to flooding. I've shut computer down from time to time as particularly bad cells pass through.

Seems like we get a couple of those kinds of storms every year. Worst I can remember was 30+ inches of rain in 48 hours followed by another 10 inches of rain two days later.

If this is the same system we have had since Friday night, hold on! Still raining here, (although more off and on) today! Mushrooms are sprouting up!

We've measured between 7.5 & 8 inches in gauge but many places are higher than that. A "Duck Boat" might be useful right now!

And Beachmouse - 30+ inches in 2 days?!

Hope it tapers off for you DuneLaker and others.

20+ years ago? If that's what you're talking about, I was there. It rained so hard that many portions of 30A, 393, and 383 were under a load of water. Thank goodness we had an old Army jeep. We were able to drive through it.

It was monsoon worthy!

I want to say it was spring of either 2005 or 2006. Just one of those fronts that stalled out in the wrong place, and Pensacola got it even worse.

Tropical Storm Alberto, 1994.

We have had some really big rains since then, but none seem to me to be as much as Alberto.
