Police have just shut down Ashley Ave. I’ve got some great pictures. It appears the Calhoun and Ashley intersection is also flooding. More soon…
We’ve gotten .71″ of rain in the last hour, and that number continues to rise. High tide is in 20 minutes.
UPDATE — a flash flood warning has just been issued for Downtown and surrounding areas.
UPDATE 2 — Just got back from my swim on my street…take a look.
The peak rainfall was 1.18″ an hour, and that came just 20 minutes before high tide. Radar estimates that the peninsula didn’t get it as badly as Folly did, though:
And I leave with this note, that requires no explanation except that it is frickin’ WET out there…
Now to read the 2PM advisory, which is looking pretty bleak for North Carolina…

LOL - those are great. I need a better camera. I especially could have used it during Gaston, when the students were floating empty beer kegs into the water and were kayaking with assistance from a 4×4 truck. Pretty hilarious!
