Tropical Cyclone’s Debby slow progress up the east coast of the US (Blog Post<\/a>) resulted in a prolonged rain event. The slider above compares the Susquehanna River on 1 August<\/a> (a clear day before Debby) and on 13 August<\/a>, after the inundation. The turbidity of the river, and its discharge into Chesapeake Bay increased enough to be obvious to satellite detection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data from the USGS Gauge at Harrisburg<\/a>, below, shows the heavy rain (especially on 9 August), the increase in river height, and the large increase in river flow for the week ending 13 August 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
