Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS ILM wrote it up.
A plume of tropical moisture remained in place as the next in a series of low pressure systems moved across the area. A frontal boundary shifted westward ahead of this area of low pressure. The low level jet increased to 65 knots. This increased the boundary level moisture and the shear profiles.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Wilmington, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 30, 5:30 AM EST, 31 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
630 AM EDT THU SEP 30 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS MOVING ALONG A STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BRING HISTORIC FLOODING RAINS AND STRONG
WINDS TO MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THIS MORNING.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE DRAMATICALLY FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AS A
COOL AND DRY CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM BUILDS INTO THE AREA.
THESE CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL INTO NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 345 AM THURSDAY...RAPIDLY EVOLVING SITUATION WITH HEAVY
RAINS AND HIGH WINDS AND SEVERE CONVECTION CONTINUING TO IMPACT A
WIDE SWATH OF THE FORECAST AREA. LATEST ANAL SHOWS A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM HAS MOVED ASHORE AND IS DEEPENING RIGHT AROUND GEORGETOWN
SC. RADAR MOSAICS AND SATELLITE LOOPS SUGGEST DESPITE A RECENT LULL
IN THE RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THAT ANOTHER
SLUG OF MOISTURE COULD BE ON THE WAY. TRENDING PRECIP TO TAPER OFF
FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGHOUT THE NEAR TERM IN A FAIRLY EVEN
MANNER...ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH AS SOME GUIDANCE SUGGESTS
THAT HEAVY RAINFALL COULD OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...ESPECIALLY IN THE CAPE FEAR REGION.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 345 AM THURSDAY...COOL AND DRY CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BEGIN TO BUILD IN ACROSS THE EASTERN CAROLINAS ON FRIDAY AS A
SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS MOVE OFFSHORE ALONG A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. COOL AND DRY AIR WILL STREAM ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AS
A RESULT. DRY THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES
BEGINNING FRIDAY NIGHT...LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 50S BOTH
NIGHTS...WITH HIGHS ON SATURDAY IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 345 AM THURSDAY...STRONG...DRY AND UNSEASONABLY COOL
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD SOUTHEAST
OVER EASTERN CONUS AS A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS MOVE ALONG
AN OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WELL OFFSHORE. RESULTING COLD AIR
ADVECTION WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE
LONG TERM...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 70S AND LOWS IN THE
50S...PERHAPS EVEN THE UPPER 40S SUNDAY AND MONDAY NIGHTS.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 12Z...SURFACE LOW RACED THROUGH THE CWA A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO.
MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL LINGER OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE
CWA THROUGH LATE MORNING...FINALLY EXITING THE AREA BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE EASTWARD
PROGRESSION OF THE MOISTURE. IF ANOTHER LOW FORMS AND RIDES UP THE
BOUNDARY...THIS COULD DELAY THE ENDING OF THE PRECIP BY SEVERAL
HOURS. CEILINGS/VIS WILL BE INTERMITTENTLY IFR IN THE CONVECTION.
SOUTH SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO GUST TO NEAR 30 KTS AT THE
MYRTLES AND ILM THROUGH 14Z. EXPECT A SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST AT THE
MYRTLES FIRST...FINALLY BECOMING SOUTHWEST AT ILM BY EARLY AFTERNOON
AS THE CONVECTION PULLS EAST. FURTHER WEST...THE WINDS HAVE ALREADY
SHIFTED TO THE WEST AND DIMINISHED...HOWEVER POCKETS OF IFR
CEILINGS REMAIN. LOOK FOR CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE TO VFR AT ALL
TERMINALS BY TO MID AFTERNOON...WITH ILM THE LAST TO COME UP. VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT WITH MAINLY WEST SOUTHWEST WINDS.
THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER WITH WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE...HOWEVER CHANCES ARE LOW.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK...MORNING FOG POSSIBLE FRI/SAT. VFR SUN/MON.
&&
.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 345 AM THURSDAY...GALE WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT THRU THIS
MORNING AND VERY HIGH SEAS WILL CONTINUE THRU THE DAY AND
OVERNIGHT AS A SERIES OF VERY STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS MOVE
ACROSS AND NEAR THE COASTAL WATERS. MARINERS ARE URGED TO REMAIN
IN PORT DURING THIS TIME OF VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS.
SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 345 PM THURSDAY...CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BEGIN TO BUILD IN ACROSS THE WATERS ON FRIDAY AS A SERIES OF LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEMS MOVE OFFSHORE ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY. NORTHERLY
WINDS ON FRIDAY AND NORTHEASTERLY WINDS ON SATURDAY WILL BE THE
RESULT...IN THE 15 KT RANGE THROUGH THE PERIOD. SEAS SHOULD EXCEED
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA THROUGH THE PERIOD DUE TO HIGH
SWELLS FROM THE OFFSHORE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS.
LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 345 AM THURSDAY...STEADY NORTHEASTERLY FLOW OVER THE WATERS
THROUGH THE PERIOD AS COOL CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS
THE WATERS. WINDS WILL BE IN THE 15 TO 20 KT RANGE...WITH SEAS IN
THE 4 TO 6 FT RANGE.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
AS OF 3 PM WEDNESDAY...A HIGH SURF ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR
BREAKERS OF 7 TO 10 FEET OVERNIGHT AND THU. THESE BREAKERS ARE
EXPECTED TO MATERIALIZE OVERNIGHT AND THU FOR THE BEACHES OF NEW
HANOVER...PENDER AND BRUNSWICK COUNTIES. HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THU.
THE COMBINATION OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING UP THE COAST AND HIGH
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES WILL PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT TIDAL DEPARTURES. WATER
LEVELS SHOULD REACH THEIR HIGHEST LEVELS AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH
TIDE WHICH IS AT 1230A AND 1P THU. THE LOWEST OF THESE HIGH TIDES IS
THE ONE OVERNIGHT. TO COMPLICATE MATTERS...HEAVY RAIN AROUND THE
TIME OF HIGH TIDE WILL PREVENT WATER FROM DRAINING AND THIS WILL
LEAD TO WATER LEVELS REMAINING NEAR THEIR PEAK FOR A LONGER
DURATION. AT THIS TIME...DOWNTOWN WILMINGTON LOOKS MOST VULNERABLE
FOR FLOODING ALONG THE CAPE FEAR DUE TO TIDAL INFLUENCES LATE
MORNING THROUGH MID AFTERNOON. THE DOWNTOWN WILMINGTON GAGE SHOULD
BE NEAR OR IN EXCESS OF 6.25 FT. THIS REPRESENTS THE UPPER LIMITS OF
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING...BUT FALLS JUST SHORT OF MODERATE COASTAL
FLOODING. UP TO A FOOT OF WATER IS POSSIBLE ON WATER STREET.
WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH IS EXPECTED TO BE NEAR ACTION STAGE.
OTHERWISE...COASTAL FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED ALTHOUGH WATER LEVELS
WILL BE HIGH.
