Rains from Hurricane Dennis inundated Eastern Pender, New Hanover and Eastern Brunswick Couinties with 6 to 9 inches of rain that caused ponding of water on roadways up to 10 inches deep, mostly during the pre-dawn hours. There were few accidents and little damage reported, as hurricane warnings were in effect and the flooding subsided during the early morning as Dennis moved away from the area.
What these are
- Flash Flood
- Flooding that begins within six hours of the rain that causes it, or of a dam or levee failure or ice jam release, often with deadly speed.
After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
