North Carolina records nearly 30 inches of rain in 48 hours
From CNN Meteorologist Mary Gilbert
Updated preliminary rainfall totals from the Weather Prediction Center show exactly why western North Carolina is dealing with life-threatening flooding.
From Wednesday morning to Friday morning, more than two feet of rain fell in the state’s mountainous region. One observation on Busick totaled 29.58 inches in just 48 hours. That’s about six times the normal amount of rainfall for all of September in the area.
More than a foot of rain has fallen in at least three other states: Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
