hell yeah. downtown portsmouth is insane. most of the roads/tunnels are straight up closed.

11/12/2009 8:41:38 AM

I was just remembering there was a tunnel around there across the peninsula. Might call the uncle today and see whats up - he's over in Hampton.

What do you do there? Work at the shipyards or National Guard, Navy, Coasties?

11/12/2009 8:46:38 AM

P-Town always gets it bad

11/12/2009 8:55:43 AM

Ha, I'm in p-town right now. I tried to get to the yard myself, but I couldn't make it. Streets were all flooded to hell and I kept running into spots where cops closed the road. I realize now I could've taken 17 into work, but seriously I don't wanna get trapped there. I'm definitely non-essential. Stay safe, lefty.

^^bullshit



i grew up in franklin during the 26.3 ft. record in 1999 on the blackwater, downtown was uner 19 feet of water, something like 20 inches of rain in 18 hours from hurricane floyd after two other major storms in less than a week





[Edited on November 12, 2009 at 9:01 AM. Reason : we have had 4 floods of 16'+ in the past 10 years]

Clayton., NC. Over flood stage.

11/12/2009 9:02:05 AM

yeah. i work at NNSY in the reactor servicing dept. im planning on leaving at lunch time (low tide) so that i dont have to fight the rush hour/high tide flood this evening.


liberal leave has been announced.

11/12/2009 9:06:40 AM

Liberal leave is some bullshit. Should be admin leave. Making it liberal leave just means there'll be a huge pile of people at work who get trapped and cause a big traffic snarl when they try to leave.

Hopefully most people have enough sense to leave early. >_<

11/12/2009 9:10:22 AM

Parts of the mixing bowl in Springfield are under water. Morning rush hour worse than usual

[Edited on November 12, 2009 at 9:14 AM. Reason : .]

11/12/2009 9:13:02 AM

I hear admin leave was just issued.

WTG shipyard. Dragged a bunch of people to work for 2 hours of nothing.

WHATEVER, I thought this flood wouldn't be this bad. Get home safe lefty. :E

11/12/2009 9:57:19 AM

OMG!!! a flood, during a hurricane?????? NO FUCKING WAY!

11/12/2009 10:00:40 AM

Relentless rains lead Va. gov to declare emergency

got home, and hour and a half of driving. flooded roads, saw cars in over their windows that had stalled. bad day for some idiots who decided to ford the river in their sports cars.

now for some MW2

11/12/2009 11:39:44 AM

ford the river

11/12/2009 11:42:47 AM

^^ He should have Hummered the river instead. I hear those things are very capable in situations like such as.

+1.4 to Fords Suck.

I hope that whole hampton roads area goes under water, everybody drowns, and all the shit and scum built over the years is washed away.

11/12/2009 12:33:14 PM

wow how do you really feel

11/12/2009 12:33:39 PM

3.5 years of bad memories will do that to ya.

Hurricane?

11/12/2009 12:43:24 PM

graphs look like they're making the tidal turn, not looking good at all for you guys

11/12/2009 12:59:24 PM

all this rain is due to ex-hurricane Ida. made landfall somewhere on the gulf coast iirc, then is creepin its way up our asses

11/12/2009 1:00:50 PM

It's a TD, not a hurricane. I don't care what something "was" 1000 miles from here 3 days ago.

11/12/2009 1:02:39 PM

^^^^ that was in reference to 69's post. just seemed like the kind of guy who always tries to one up the story whether it is relevant or not.

11/12/2009 2:30:17 PM

i've been hearing it called a Nor'easter

11/12/2009 2:31:05 PM

11/12/2009 3:37:41 PM

cry me a river

11/12/2009 4:08:20 PM

In good news, Falls Lake will be full again by the end of the night:

11/12/2009 4:17:58 PM

I live at mp 9 on the Outer Banks, in between the beach road & the bypass

This is our front yard, in the morning during a break in the rain



This was taken around noon- you can see the spray off the neighbor'r roof



Taken around an hour ago (to the right leads east to the beach, about 6 lots away). The street is flooded up to the eastern edge of our yard

11/12/2009 4:24:17 PM

^6 my misunderstanding.

If you know what those are then you should slap the people calling it that, lol.

11/12/2009 4:27:17 PM

my mom just sent me pics from Elizabeth City and Camden....will post later. EC is under about 4-5 feet of water on Elizabeth Street.

11/12/2009 4:45:06 PM

yo jax, how fast will that water clear out?

I was planning to camp @OBX this weekend

11/12/2009 4:52:59 PM

not too long...supposedly this clears out tonight. If you're camping south of Rodanthe though, check the dare county cams first.

This one is outside Mirlo Beach in north Rodanthe

Its a global warming sneak attack.

11/12/2009 6:39:17 PM

rain has slowed down but tide is supposed to go so high it will cause flooding again today, so, they announced admin leave. woot.

i heard some pier in VA beach collapsed.

11/13/2009 7:48:47 AM

yeah, a chunk of the lynnhaven fishing pier went away. owner already said she's rebuilding.
