SKYWARN Newsletter #231

---

Hello to all….

This newsletter is a dedicated comprehensive report and summary on

the May 2006 Floods that started Friday May 12th, 2006 and lasted

through May 15th, 2006. Special thanks to all Amateur Radio Operators,

SKYWARN Spotters and Public Safety officials who worked hard during

the response and recovery phase of this disaster.

In mid-May, the worst flooding to affect portions of Northeast

Massachusetts and New Hampshire in 70 years caused significant issues

across this area. A major federal disaster declaration occurred for

this disaster and prompted a SKYWARN Activation that began Friday

May 12th and did not end until Monday May 15th with the only breaks

taken during the overnight hours due to the dangers of trying to look

at flooded areas at night. The following is a comprehensive report

and analysis of this effort.

Amateur Radio Operators Help to Backbone the Effort

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton was active for a 4-day

period to support this serious situation. This included obtaining

flood reports from various areas and to provide updates to Amateurs

in the field who were giving the reports to the net. In addition, the

Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES) program was active at

the Massachusetts State EOC and MEMA Region 1 headquarters for 5 days

in support of these efforts. Eastern Massachusetts ARES activated to

support the American Red Cross for damage assessment operations as

well as assisting with handing out relief supplies. In addition,

a widespread severe weather outbreak occurred one week after the

floods on Sunday May 21st, 2006 and also prompted a SKYWARN

Activation. Below are articles from the ARRL web site that discuss

all of the hard work that was part of this tremendous effort:

There was an additional article/report also posted to the Eastern

Massachusetts ARES web site at the following link:

The MEMA Region 1 RACES team was praised by Pat Carnevale, Region 3

RACES Director who was assisting with Region 1 Operations during the

floods. The following report was written by Terry Stader-KA8SCP,

Region I RACES Radio Officer on Operations in MEMA Region 1 where

Amateur Radio Operators did work via Amateur Radio but also via phone

and any other means to help support the operation:

I would like to thank all of you for your generous help at MEMA

Region 1 in Tewksbury during this flooding event the last several

days. I know that it was a lot more than just RACES/Amateur Radio

operations you may have expected.

Your role as a communicator, from faxing to switchboard to message

handling to radio operations, was appreciated by all of the MEMA

staff at Region 1 and in Framingham at the State EOC.

I very much appreciated your response to the call for staffing and

your availability to respond to the changing requirements. For many

of you it was a learning experience and your first time working at

Region 1, I hope you will be available in the future when the need

arises.

I think I have everyone of the radio operators covered in this email

who staffed Region 1, if I missed anyone could you please drop me a

note? The list of radio operators is shown below:

Ernie Bauer - N1AEW

Joe Fratto - N1RLO

Walter Kahn - KB1IBG

Dennis LaFrenier - N1WLH

Darrell Mallory - K1EJ

John McGovern - W1JMC

Allan Muise - K1NZQ

Ron Quattrochi - KB1KRG

Ron Reder - KA1KCU

Charles Suprin - AA1VS

Terry Stader - KA8SCP

Dave Welsh - WI1R

Thanks again all.

Sincerely,

Terry M. Stader

MEMA Region 1 Communications/RACES Officer

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA

1020 PM EDT FRI MAY 19 2006

...IMPRESSIVE LONG DURATION RECORD CHALLENGING BOSTON AREA RAIN

EVENT SUMMARY...

THE FOLLOWING IS THE LISTING OF MOSTLY UNOFFICIAL STORM TOTAL

OBSERVATIONS FOR THE PRIMARY PORTION OF THE STORM THAT CAUSED MAJOR

TO RECORD FLOODING IN PORTIONS SOUTH CENTRAL NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THE

NORTHEAST TIP OF MASSACHUSETTS.

WHILE THIS STORM DELIVERED RAIN INTERMITTENTLY OVER AN APPROXIMATELY

100 HOUR PERIOD...IT WAS SUBDIVIDED INTO THREE SEGMENTS FOR DATA

MANAGEMENT PURPOSES.

PART ONE...WHICH COVERS THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY FLOODING DURING

THE DAYLIGHT HOURS FRIDAY MAY 12TH...IS OMITTED FROM THIS REPORT.

ESSENTIALLY 5 TO 8 INCHES OCCURRED IN WESTERN HARTFORD COUNTY WITH

LESSER AMOUNTS NORTH AND EAST OF HARTFORD.

THE LAST SEGMENT...PART THREE...WILL NOT HAVE ANY SUPPLEMENTAL

RAINFALL INFORMATION SINCE MOST AMOUNTS IN THE 24 HOUR PERIOD FROM

MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON WERE UNDER TWO INCHES AND

DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO ANY KNOWN NEW FLOODING. THIS LAST PORTION OF

THE STORM WAS THE PRIMARY UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION THAT WAS FINALLY

LIFTING OUT ACROSS THE AREA...AFTER HAVING BEEN ESSENTIALLY

STATIONARY FOR SEVERAL DAYS FROM THE OHIO VALLEY TO THE MID ATLANTIC

STATES...DIRECTING HEAVY RAIN ASHORE INTO NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS.

SO...THE MAIN PORTION OF THIS UNIQUE LONG DURATION STORM OCCURRED

FROM FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING AND ITS CONTENTS ARE

BELOW.

PENDING NATIONAL CLIMATIC DATA CENTER CERTIFICATION...A NEW STATE OF

MASSACHUSETTS MONTHLY RAINFALL RECORD WAS LIKELY ESTABLISHED WITH

THIS EARLY WARM SEASON 4 DAY RAIN EVENT. THE SALISBURY NEWBURYPORT

CO-OPERATIVE OBSERVER MONTHLY TOTAL FOR MAY THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY MAY

19TH...WAS 19.94 INCHES...AND WELL ABOVE THE PREVIOUSLY KNOWN MONTH

OF MAY STATE RECORD OF 13.6 INCHES SET IN MAY 1984.

EMBEDDED WITHIN THE DATA BELOW OF THIS REPORT ARE DAILY RECORDS SET

THIS PAST WEEKEND AT BOSTON /MAY 13 AND 14 RESPECTIVELY/.

OF EVEN GREATER IMPORTANCE FOR BOSTON CLIMATOLOGY ARE THE MULTI

CONSECUTIVE DAY TOTALS.

BOSTONS 8.49 INCHES THAT OCCURRED OVER 4 CALENDAR DAYS ENDING MAY

16TH IS FOURTH HIGHEST 96 HOUR TOTAL IN ALL OF THE BOSTON DATABASE

DATING BACK TO 1872. THE RECORD IS THE 12.47 INCHES FOR THE 4 DAY

PERIOD ENDING AUGUST 20TH 1955. WHEN YOU CAREFULLY REVIEW THE

DATA....THE SECOND AND THIRD RANKING 4 CONSECUTIVE DAY RAINFALLS

WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AUGUST 1955 TROPICAL STORM DIANE.

IN ESSENCE THEN...IN APPROXIMATELY 125 YEARS OF CONTINUOUS RECORD

KEEPING FOR BOSTON...THIS WAS THE SECOND LARGEST 4 DAY RAINFALL EVER!

THE 72 HOUR CALENDAR DAY 7.98 INCHES AT BOSTON WAS THE THIRD RANKED

SEPARATE EVENT EPISODE BEHIND THE

7.99 INCHES ENDING OCTOBER 22 1996 AND THE

MASSIVE 12.47 INCHES ENDING AUGUST 19 1955.

THE 48 HOUR CALENDAR DAY 7.61 INCHES AT BOSTON RANKED 4TH BEHIND

ENDING 8/19/55 11.94

ENDING 10/21/96 7.89

ENDING 9/17/33 7.83

AND FINALLY FOR BOSTON...THE MONTHLY MAY TOTAL OF 12.10 INCHES AS OF

9 PM THIS FRIDAY EVENING THE 19TH IS NOW ONLY 1.29 INCHES SHY OF THE

RECORD AND RANKS NUMBER 2 ALL TIME FOR MAY...AT BOSTON.

THE MAY 2006 STORM COMPARES FAVORABLY TO THE OCTOBER 20-22 1996

EVENT FOR NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS IN THAT BOTH HAD LARGE AND NEARLY

STATIONARY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS SOUTH OF OUR LATITUDE THAT ON

SATELLITE IMAGERY APPEARED TO INGEST A PLUME OF TROPICAL MOISTURE

WITHIN THE VAST CONVEYOR OF ONSHORE ATLANTIC FLOW.

A PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF RAINFALL AND RIVER STAGE INFORMATION

SUGGESTS THIS MAY 2006 EVENT WAS A BIT MORE SEVERE FOR PORTIONS OF

ESSEX COUNTY IN NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS THAN THE OCTOBER 1996 EVENT.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS APPEARED TO BE SLIGHTLY HEAVIER AND FLOOD OF RECORD

STAGES WERE REACHED ON THE PARKER IPSWICH AND SAUGUS RIVERS IN ESSEX

COUNTY OF THE NORTHEAST TIP OF MASSACHUSETTS...HIGHER READINGS THAN

IN OCTOBER 1996. HOWEVER...THE INTENSITY OF THE RAIN THIS WEEKEND

MAY HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THAT OF THE OCTOBER 96 EVENT.

A POSSIBLY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1996 AND 2006... ANTECEDENT

GROUND CONDITIONS FOR THE FIRST 11 DAYS OF MAY 2006 SHOWED MONTHLY

TOTALS IN THE 3 TO 6 INCH RANGE. BACK IN 1996...A QUICK SURVEY OF

MIDDLETON HAVERHILL AND BOSTON DAILY DATA SHOWED ONLY AROUND 2

INCHES OF RAIN...ALLOWING FOR A LITTLE DRIER PRESTORM SOIL

CONDITION.

AS OF WEDNESDAY MAY 19TH...THE MONTHLY TOTALS IN ESSEX COUNTY

MASSACHUSETTS ARE ALREADY WITHIN AN INCH OF 15 AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS

WITH THE 6PM COOPERATIVE OBSERVER REPORT OF 19.94 INCHES AT

SALISBURY-NEWBURYPORT WHICH ALSO CORROBORATES THE 19 INCHES AT

ROCKPORT RECEIVED THE NIGHT OF THE 17TH.

BOSTONS MONTHLY TOTAL AS OF 5 PM FRIDAY MAY 19TH IS 12.00

INCHES...RANKING SECOND FOR THE MONTH OF "MAY"...SO FAR...BELOW THE

MONTHLY MASSACHUSETTS EXTREME OF 13.38 INCHES RECORDED AT PERU

DURING MAY 1954.

OTHER HISTORICAL EVENTS THAT WERE REVIEWED WERE

OCTOBER 2005 /INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND/.

10/20-22/1996 NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS NORTHWARD.

JAN AND APRIL 1996 EVENTS SNOWMELT RELATED

APRIL 1987 SNOWMELT RELATED

8/18-20/1955 DIANE RELATED WHICH STILL APPEARS TO BE THE AREA WIDE
