I'd have to look it up. Florence wasn't bad IMBY but Mathew was crazy for flooding here. Not as bad as floyd but close.

Matthew flooding knocked out the dam on the little river here , some idiots tried to cross the bridge while it was underwater and got swept away . Woke up to news helicopters over the area . Closest to Floyd we have gotten in recent years . Floyd broke the dam on bunn lake here and it flooded everywhere and drained

This is definitely the summer of high dewpoints. Mine is at 72 right now which is the lowest it’s been all day. The wind has been NW around 3mph all afternoon… that would typically let things mix out down to the mid 60s by now, but not this year

Not last year either.

Hearing that story reminds me of what happened just a few miles from my house during Florence…we had had over 17 inches rain in the previous 18 hours and a woman moved a barricade that was blocking a closed highway after dark and drove right into a flooded area… she had her 1 year old in the car with her and the poor baby got swept from arms when she was getting them out of the car. The baby’s body was found about 2 miles downstream the next morning. It was so heartbreaking… I just don’t understand why people try to mess with floodwaters.

Luckily my story the people survived , I can’t imagine the thought process behind moving an entire barricade and driving through flood waters with your baby in the car . It’s just nuts , she had to be under the influence of something, either that or caught in the storm and terrified with high adrenaline with only one goal of getting home .

During floyd we had 11 inches of rain in 3 hours the night before landfall. Massive flash flooding and a man went in a flooded creek about 1/4 mile from the house. We went down there and on the other side the rescue teams were looking but he was gone. Found his body 3 weeks later in the top of a tree.

The water receded and the next day the road was gone and the water was down to normal at this creek. A guy drove around the barricades to show his very old mother but didn't realize the road was undercut and it collapsed and his car fell in the creek. They had to get him and his mother out and when they did they put the guy in handcuffs.
 
Looks like our excessively soggy summer continues this weekend into next week.


Later Friday afternoon into Friday evening, the approaching cold
front will provide the focus for lift needed to initiate storms
across northeastern NC, with these storms likely spreading southward
away from the front along their cold pool, tapping into the
2-3k J/kg of instability within the warm/moist airmass and 25-30
kt of 0-6 km shear at the base of the upper trough. Storm
organization is expected, with multicell or QLCS organization
possibly leading to an increased damaging wind gust threat.

Convective activity will push off the south coast as the surface
front is now expected to push across most or all of the area by
sunrise Saturday. However, heights aloft will begin to fall as
troughing digs across the Ohio Valley toward the southern
Appalachians, and the first in what will be several waves of low
pressure will develop over the Southeast along the stalled
boundary. This wave will bring the next round of storms Sunday
as the boundary slides back over the area, where it will remain
for the better part of next week. Developing deep layer moisture
transport on the east side of the unseasonably high-amplitude
trough will bring the potential for heavy rainfall, with the
severe threat dependent on the timing and strength of the wave
as it crosses the area Sunday.

Monday through mid-week...Unsettled weather continues early to
middle of next week as the surface boundary remains stalled
over/near the area with a relatively high amplitude upper trough
over the southern Appalachians. The second significant wave
traversing the boundary looks to impact the area late Monday
into Tuesday, but timing is uncertain at this point. Overall,
expect a wet period with persistent deep moisture advection
brining flooding rainfall concerns, and periods of severe
weather concerns possible as well. Temps will be near to below
normal owing to cloud cover and periods of rainfall.
