1,179 first-hand accounts of flood events in South Carolina, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
An upper trough moved into the Southeast, acting as the main forcing in a strongly unstable environment with weak deep layer shear and high PWAT's. This forcing led to the development of scattered strong to severe convection that moved slowly due to the weak steering flow.
