What happened

The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.

Above normal rainfall was observed at many locations across north and central Georgia during the month. Most of the rain fell during three events on the 7th, the 13th, and the 28th. The rainfall on the 7th and 13th was largely caused by the combination of residual tropical moisture and stationary frontal systems, while the event on the 28th resulted from the remnants of Pacific hurricane Kenna, which traveled across mainly the northern one-third of the state. While above normal rainfall was not observed uniformly, many stations, especially in north Georgia, recorded rainfall totals for the month of October which exceeded normal amounts by three inches or more. Atlanta, for example, recorded its 10th wettest October on record (since the late 1800s) , with 5.94 inches of rain falling during the month, which is 2.83 inches above the normal rainfall of 3.11 inches. Only a handful of stations reported below normal rainfall during the month, and even in these cases the rainfall amounts were still within one inch of normal. Athens was the only major reporting station with below normal rainfall during the month, and even here it was only 0.17 inch below normal.
