by Kevin Stewart
To: All F2P2 Partners
In compiling our notes for this year, we wanted to give everyone a chance to weigh-in on any flooding events that may have impacted your communities or you personally. As most of you already know, 2020 had very few rainstorms capable of causing serious flood impacts making this year our least impactful since the F2P2 began 42 years ago.
To help with your recall, here are the storm dates that likely produced daily rainfall amounts of 2" or more:
DATE
LOCATION(s) POTENTIALLY IMPACTED

May 24
General widespread, low intensity rainfall
max GARR >3.29", no rain alarms
