Abstract:
A Category 1 hurricane by the time it made landfall, Florence wreaked water-related havoc as it crawled through Coastal and Eastern North Carolina. At speeds as slow as 2mph, Florence created 1,000-year rain events in towns such as Mount Olive, dumped nearly three feet of rain in Elizabethtown, and generated a surge exceeding seven feet in Jacksonville.
