Where: York County, 1.75 mi NW of Celriver to 1.71 mi NW of Celriver
Cause: Heavy Rain
Property damage: $25,000

Coordinates: 34.986, -80.974

A stream gauge on the Catawba River northeast of Rock Hill exceeded its established flood stage on the morning of the 10th and remained there through much of the day. This occurred as runoff from an extreme rainfall event on June 8th/9th that resulted in widespread 4 to 7 inches in the North Carolina foothills worked its way downstream. The main impacts were inundation of water into parking lots and some buildings on Herrons Ferry Rd, as well as flooding of trails along Brakefield Dr.

What these are

Flood: Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
