A broad low pressure system slowly meandered over the forecast area Sept. 6th through the 8th. On the night of the 6th and 7th a widespread area of nocturnal rain broke out across inland NE Florida, which dumped rainfall amounts of 8-14 inches over portions of Columbia County, especially from Lake City southward toward Columbia. Several homes were flooded with numerous road closures. Flash flood warnings were issued for almost the same area each morning for this area of Columbia county.
