Title: Springfield - Soaked
Post by: squirtthecat on May 27, 2010, 06:49:12 AM

Some shots of downtown yesterday...   Parts of town received 4.5" of rain in about 90 minutes.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just got some isolated showers up here, they were heavy but didnt last more than 20 min.

Had my windows rolled up this time.  ::)

Hope none of those cars under water were yours.

We got some of those micro burst rains the other day, but not that much flooding.

This weather is getting FREAKY!

That is alot of rain for 90 minutes.

The City planners need to do a better job of planning.

Haven't heard of any.  Just some high-water car rescues.  No people climbing on the roof of their house or anything catastrophic like that.   This was just a seriously huge flash flood.

I'm sure it will take a while to clean up..   A lot of homes/business down there had raw sewage pouring out of their sink/bathroom drains, spewing like fountains...    Ick.

That is crazy.  Didn't see any OBS's floaing at least.
