We've had some impressive downpours, but they have only lasted for a few minutes. I could see 7" if it poured like that for 45 minutes straight.

ckf Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 The water has been high causing a swift current in the chanel between bays at a friend's marina on. Ossipee lake in NH. Mark ends up in the drink.

In all my time there I can only recall one summer where we had a few weeks of rain and the rivers and lakes were overflowing. I think that was around 2007 or 2008. We had to turn people away all summer for the Bearcamp River trips. Jeff (Angry Ginger) had a camp just down the channel from Mark's marina.

We would skirt the edge to get to Mt. Whittier from Leavitt Bay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Stephen Hawking Posted July 21, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted July 21, 2023 It rained hard earlier but sun came out and dried it up. Sun still shining but I can hear thunder in the distance and see it coming on radar. Looks like a big one, maybe the power will go out and I'll get sent home.

ARTIE KATZ Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Yesterday I had a progress meeting about 5 miles West of the office at 2pm. Radar looked like it would hit about 3pm. Nope, 2:01 started raining, wrapped up meeting in 10 minutes and headed back to office. Got pounded with heavy rain and nickel-quarter sized hail the whole way as I was traveling same direction as the storm but slower. 5 miles East of the office got hit with tennis ball size hail. Lotta damage. Did not see any damage to company car so that was a plus. Edited July 21, 2023 by ARTIE KATZ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
