Kentucky is UNDERWATER!!!

[Techno Monster]

Many schools here have been canceled and All the counties in northern Kentucky are under a state of emergency. Everywhere I look from my house there is half a foot of water. Below is a article from the 14WFIE news website.




if you're wondering just how much rainfall we've gotten from this week's storm, 14 First Alert meteorologist Byron Douglas says it's just about an all time record.

Byron says we've had 6.4 inches of rain in Evansville, that's second all time for a 24 hour period.

The only time it rained more, William Howard Taft was in the White House. Byron says the all time record was 6.5 inches in October of 1910.

There was a storm in April of 1996 that poured just over 6 inches on the Tri-State. That rain came much quicker and caused massive flooding.

Some areas of the Tri-State have received even more rain. A 14 First Alert spotter in St. Phillip reports over eight inches. Lesser amounts of rain were reported in western Kentucky.

River levels as of Wednesday morning:

Ohio River:

34.7 feet at Owensboro, cresting at 42.1 next Monday

37.8 feet at Evansville, cresting at 42.9 on Tuesday

40.9 at Shawneetown, cresting at 48.0 on Thursday

White River:

22.5 feet at Petersburg, cresting at 25.0 next week

19.5 feet at Hazleton, no crest prediction at this time

Wabash River:

18.5 feet at Vincennes

21 feet at Mt. Carmel

16.5 feet at New Harmony, with crests expected of 3-4 feet higher.

[Sugaree]

It happened to me once and you don't want to know the fear that you'll have when it's over your head.

So no dangerous areas to live in are not cool

^ agreed there is also a lot of tornadoes here and they can get SCARY.

[Mzor203]

Wow crazy. BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TORNADOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to go to Kentucky lol.
I've always wanted to be a storm chaser.
But that is beside the point. Stay safe down there.

[Sugaree]

Yeh, I for one think that tornadoes are good.......from a distance that is xD. Storm chasers are two things to me.

1. Crazy :fool:
2. Awesome :coolthumb:

It must be an exciting job but I wouldn't want to do it. Just give me a cubical and office chair and few other things and I'll be happy with that xD
