The "Ivan" Flood Event of September 17th - 18th, 2004
The above image depicts
storm total rainfall (in inches, as estimated by National Weather Service Doppler
Radar) from 2pm on Thursday, September 16th through 3pm on Saturday, September
18th, 2004. Most of the rainfall shown above fell between 8am Friday, September
17th and 8am Saturday, September 18th. The rainfall was caused by moisture
from the remnants of Hurricane Ivan interacting with a frontal boundary. The legend
is located at the top-left portion of the image. The widespread 3 to 5 inch
rainfall totals produced major flooding at several river points. Some points
had their highest river stages since the January 1996 flood.
