Somehow, I managed to be on my way to Pittsburgh while the heavens were opening up on Severn, Baltimore, Towson and Cockeysville on Saturday. I posted once early in the morning before we left, and again from the road a couple of times, but a slow hotel connection hobbled my efforts. Suffice it to say it was a very impressive display by Mother Nature. But if you were here, you already know all that. Here are a few of the rainfall totals for the three-day storm:

Towson: 5.36 inches

Cockeysville:  4.56 inches

Hamilton (in Baltimore City): 4.50 inches

BWI: 4.15 inches 

Severn:  4.28 inches.

Blame the Atlantic low that went ashore in South Carolina, turned and wandered slowly up the Appalachians over the weekend.

The street flooding here was dramatic in the usual low spots in Cockeysville (Beaver Run and York Road) and down along the Jones Falls in the city and county.

Here is a more comprehensive rundown on rain totals.  The September total for BWI is now 6.73 inches. That's almost 3 inches above the norm for BWI in September, but a long way from the record of 12.41 inches, set in September 1934.
