Current Flood Report - September 2019
No matter what time of year, there are always flooding incidences happening around the country. Sometimes it's due to a hurricane and tropical storm flooding, other times, it's due to flash flooding, and other times it's due to snowmelt. No matter what season we're in, there is no area completely safe from the risk of flooding. Through September, there have been hurricanes, flash flooding, and many communities have experienced loss. Big Bags USA hates to see these families and communities experiencing these challenges, which was what fueled us to create our flood barrier system. We'll tell you some more about it below, but first, let's take a look at some of the weather reports around the country.
Even in areas that are not in the flood plain, many homes have experienced flooding - some up to three times in the Green Hills area. Some homes that haven't experienced flooding like this have been finding their backyards completely flooded unlike ever before. What's even more unfortunate is that the homes experiencing so much damage were built before this continuous flooding became so frequent, and they do not have any type of stormwater control.
By being prepared to protect you and your communities' property, this should provide comfort, knowing that you have some tools for protection in place before flooding. If you are doing all that you can to minimize damages to your property, then you are in the top 10%.
We manufacture, supply and deliver our products to your business or job site location. We have innovative strategies for protecting your property during floods.
We work closely with the Emergency Managers and Public Works Directors, in your area to help in the planning of deployment to optimize solutions for future floods.
General Contractors with flood protection commitments in place can benefit greatly from our flood fighting systems. By having systems on hand, you can satisfy your flood protection agreements with local municipalities in a short period.
With proper expertise and training on the deployment and dismantling of our systems, your personnel can utilize the latest technology to protect or minimize property damages.
Nashville homes not in flood plains still flooding
Even in areas that are not in the flood plain, many homes have experienced flooding - some up to three times in the Green Hills area. Some homes that haven't experienced flooding like this have been finding their backyards completely flooded unlike ever before. What's even more unfortunate is that the homes experiencing so much damage were built before this continuous flooding became so frequent, and they do not have any type of stormwater control. Monsoon storms with flash flooding and damaging winds forecast for Southwest
Tornadoes in Iowa, Kansas, and Wisconsin were among nearly 80 damaging storms reported on Tuesday. With tornadoes and hail in those areas, monsoon storms, dust storms, flash flooding, and many systems still on the way, this article from ABC News is covering some of the crazy weather happening.Three years after Agnes, central Pa. slammed by another devastating flood
"Just three years after Agnes, another tropical storm once again brought a deluge of rain and massive flooding to central Pea. On Sept. 25, 1975, the National Weather Service had canceled flash flood warnings for most of Pennsylvania. The next day, Friday, Sept. 26, on the front page of The Patriot, a reporter wrote, "The name is Eloise, not Agnes, but Midstate residents faced with record rainfall, impassable roads and, in some cases evacuation from their homes, wondered last night if a tropical storm by any other name would be as devastating."Crystal, Fish Lake flooding forces locals to move out
"For those living near the shores of Fish and Crystal Lakes, the fight for drier ground has taken years and yielded few results. Back in April, locals were pleading for state help to tackle rising lake levels. Now, months later, Donna Breunig said it’s only gotten worse. “It’s over,” she said. “This was where I was going to retire.” Breunig spent Thursday packing up the last of her things, at least what she could carry. “No beds, no couches,” she said. Breunig lived off of Shoepp Rd. near the shores of Crystal Lake. She said she noticed the lake rising since 2008 but in the past few weeks, it’s taken over her property and many of her neighbors."Periodic changes for heavy rain and possible flooding over the next week
"Today was a nice fall day with sunny skies and high temperatures in the upper 60s, while dry air has dropped dew points into the lower 40s. Showers and isolated thunderstorms will develop later tonight night, with showers and thunderstorms becoming likely on Friday before ending later on Friday evening. A few of the thunderstorms may produce locally heavy rainfall of one to one and a half inches, mainly in areas south of Madison. This is an area that has received heavy rain of 150 to 400% of normal since the beginning of September. Even rainfall amounts of as little as one inch may lead to additional flooding concerns."HEARTLAND FLOOD: Rainy forecast shattering hope for Honey Creek flood victims
"The floodwaters have moved off Interstate-680 East, which means I-DOT is on track to open those lanes tomorrow, but the forecast paints a more daunting picture with rainfall expected for the next six days."
