POST FLORENCE INFO

cell phone shot of Flo rain on a leaf

Florence ended up tracking over Asheville which greatly helped us avoid more rain and wind.  In fact, we took much more damage in ACA from that Thursday afternoon storm a couple of weeks ago, compared to Flo's no-show for us.  I tallied only 2.11" of rain from Flo, and it was overwhelmingly the steady, soaker variety. Winds were tame, overall.

But on the coast it's a different, devastating story, of course.  I've tried to pull together some data links for those that like to explore the history and effects of Florence, though many rivers are still rising there, so Flo's story is far, far from over.

This is a neat interactive link that tracked Florence from a low of the coast of Africa, turning into an historical Cape Verde system:

This link takes some work...I put in the date September 17 and set it for 7 day precipitation totals.  You can also select county boundaries or whatever you'd like to see:

These links are to the latest Public Information Statements that often contain numeric listing of rain totals. Last time I checked they weren't all updated to show the true totals, though, and you may have to click around the "1,2,3,4..." at the top to find the rain total reports:
