Small town of South Colton. Close to our family camp on Higley Flow.

Same underpass as above. This railroad track has highway 11 under it with 13'6" clearance.

  The level in the dam should be up considerably by midweek.  Can't release too much water given the flow in Canaseraga Creek, Black Creek, Oatka Creek, Honeoye Creek, and other feeder streams below the dam.

My sister got married there, at the Glenn Iris inn.  In 2006.  Labor Day weekend.  So she had an uninvited guest: remnants of tropical storm Ernesto.  

 

The Middle Falls were damned impressive that weekend.  Worst than that, as I recall.  I might still have pics somewhere.

 

(Oh, and it was an outdoor wedding.  In a monsoon.)

Today is my Daughters wedding anniversary.  5 years. She was married on the only day we got rain in 4 weeks. She argued with mom. "I dont want a tent mom. If I wanted to get married in a tent I would have had an indoor wedding".  We walked down the isle with me holding an umbrella over her head.

For my sister's wedding, I was tasked with buying umbrellas.  I bought out all the black-and-white golf umbrellas I could find within 40 miles.  Probably spent $600 on golf umbrellas.

 

Couldn't do anything about the mud, though...and I was the only one who thought to bring boots.

When the rain began my wife turned to my son and said, we have two dollar generals within 15 miles. Buy all of their umbrellas. As luck would have it they had a shipment that matched the colors to perfection.

Anyone here in the path of Helene?

@Jabba The Hutt are you getting hit again? 

 

If it stays the current trajectory, my house has a 73% chance of rain. 🤞

 

Good luck to all in Helene’s path.

Just the Mets wild card hopes.  That always ends well in Georgia.

Looks like it's gonna pass us and leave us with a tropical storm and some surge. I'll believe it isn't taking a direct turn here like Ian when it's passed us lol

CNN's reporting this is a "catastrophic" category 5 hurricane.

 

NHC is reporting it's a category 2, and will strengthen to a weak category 3 by landfall.

 

I have no idea where the &#%$ CNN is getting their information. 

[Jabba The Hutt]

Lost &#%$ing power for an hour...probably turned it off on purpose. Gonna get that generator soon lol

Yeah, GTFO this ain't no Hurrican Ian...

Damn, southern part of our island and the bridge they have been rebuilding for 2 years took on a ton of water... glad we rebought back onto the highest part of the island 

 

Yeah, Ian wiped that bridge and most of Matlacha! They still are working to rebuild the permanent bridge with deeper footers and such, and we got 1 lane with a stoplight and snowbird season coming up... FML

 

Sanibel got walloped pretty bad in Ian too.

I'm willing to bet, at this point, that TN and KY get hurt worse than the Gulf Coast.

 

This storm's supposed to travel that far north...then just stall for two days.  Central KY and TN are probably getting 12" rain at least.

We got at least 16" already... most of those people live in mountainous area and not at sea level Water table differential...

Yep...but runoff from mountains.  That can cause major issues downstream.  I remember eastern NC got devastated years back by a remnant that dumped a ton of rain in the mountains.
