Storm Intercept Summary

   I didn't have to leave home for this flooding event.  The photos I took of the flooded streets were taken from the front porch of my residence.  My CoCoRaHS precipitation recording station received 1.88" of rainfall between 5:10 P.M. and 6:08 P.M. on the evening of April 29, 2006.  My recording station received a total twenty-four hour rainfall from 7:00 A.M. April 29, 2006 to 7:00 A.M. April 30, 2006, of 2.08".  As you can see in my photographs posted on this website, 1.88" of rainfall in an hours time can cause extensive flooding, especially on poorly drained city streets.  Flooding of this magnitude occurrs a couple times a year in the neighborhood in which I live.  Several people in four wheel drive vehicles were driving through the flooded streets, mainly just playing around.  We haven't seen this much rainfall in this short of time, for quite an extended period.  Only minor flooding of roadways occurred outside the city limits of Pittsburg, Kansas.  This wasn't really much of a storm chase per se, but since I did get some decent photographs of the flooded streets in my neighborhood, I thought I would include them on my website.
