Here is the current soil moisture ...click on the anomaly ..its very wet from NC into PA...the ground can’t take much water...
Unlike Harvey in Texas some of the area is very hilly too....plus the flow will move up the mountains enhancing the rainfall amounts in places too
Harvey dumped 30-60 inches a fluke for sure..but the same models predicted it ...15 to isolated 30 here seem possible ...but unlike Houston area its isn’t flat and will take days to drain to the ocean
also lots of Dams in the area too(100’s of smaller ones)..some of which will fail like in previous events

Western Pa here and we’ve had two days of solid rain with temps in the low 50’s! The ground is saturated.
Seems like these days most websites are scaling pages for the damned phones everyone has glued to their fingers 23/7 :-\
