Re: but recon was finding higher winds

There have been higher flight level winds on the east side of the storm where the convection mostly is. I haven't been following too closely. I am doing several things, one of which will be allowing dropsonde data from the NCAR G-V aircraft that had been doing recon around Hawaii. (Like the NOAA G-IV usually does) I'll try get to that a little later tonight.

A neighbor sometimes floods, but he bought an extra pump and made some temporary improvements after his house had a little bit of water in it earlier this summer. He also has sandbags now too and I talked with him a day or two ago and I reminded him he could get some more. Usually you can only get 10 at a time. (if I remember correctly, locally around here)

He lives where there is poor drainage across the street where the backs of houses face each other and water can pool. I live on a canal, so I don't have fresh water flooding issues. Unless I wanted to get out of my neighborhood, then a high tide and heavy rainfall can make the road flooded at the front entrance, making it impossible to get out, at least in my car anyway. I haven't been out today, but I imagine that is not a problem. I don't think the tide is high enough to block the drains. And the rain has been more gradual throughout the day.

It's kind of rained constantly pretty much so I haven't checked my rain gauge. I live around 1 to 2 miles from the rain gauge at Tampa International Airport, which had 4.05 inches as of 9:53pm EDT for today, a record for the date. So that's probably about what I got. Some places have more than double that today.
