With the ridge at this time centered near NewOrleans, the remnants of tropical depression number five had once again moved into Georgia. Meanwhile...a weak frontalsystem had stalled across north Georgia, being pushed southward by a short wave moving through the Ohio Valley. Thecombination of the front the remnants of TD5 resulted in numerous thunderstorms. While none of the thunderstorms becamesevere, frequent lightning and very heavy rain accompanied many of the storms. Localized flash flooding was reported inCherokee county in north central Georgia during this event. By far, however, the biggest issue on this day was frequent andintense cloud-to-ground lightning, which caused a rash of house fires in several northeast and east central Georgia counties.The thunderstorms persisted into the early morning hours of the 21st across northeast Georgia between Athens, Lawrenceville,and Commerce.White County4 S Oculus2 WNW Cleveland21 1215EST1732EST 0 0 400.00K 0.00K Flash Flood74

Themost significant incident occurred along a service road of U.S. Highway 129, approximately one mile south of Cleveland.Significant erosion, six to eight feet deep in spots, occurred in the area resulting in a pavement collapse. The collapsedpavement resulted in a sink hole causing damage to a car wash and adjacent Sonic Drive In restaurant along U.S. Highway 129.Most of the damage was in the form of collapsed awnings and damage to adjacent property at the drive in. In addition, CoxCreek overflowed its banks onto U.S. Highway 129 near Campbell Street with four feet of water and onto Quillian Street withtwo feet of water. Freeman Creek overflowed its banks onto Asbestos Road with one foot of water. A secondary stream thatflows into Cox Creek overflowed its banks flooding Cementary Street and Wildord Ash Parkway with one foot of water.Portions of the Creekside Deli Parking Lot at Nachoochee Road and U.S. Highway 129 were also flooded.A stationary, backdoor front lingered across northeast Georgia. The remnants of Tropical Depression Number Five (TD5) weremaking one final revolution through Georgia around a large subtropical ridge across the mid-south. Deep tropical moistureremained firmly entrenched across the state. In fact, the air mass remained incredibly moist with dewpoints in the mid to upper70s across much of north and central Georgia. Thunderstorms, with heavy rain, had plagued northeast Georgia throughout theearly morning and mid-morning hours and persisted across the far northeastern counties into the early afternoon. By latemorning, rainfall totals of six inches, locally more, were common across the northwest half of White county. The heavyrainfall in the steep terrain common to this area resulted in flash flooding.Damage to a Sonic Restaurant along U.S. Highway 129 just south of Cleveland caused by a flash flood.Six inches or more of rain fell in the area during the early and mid-morning hours of August 21st.The resulting rapid water currents in the surrounding drainage system caused significant erosion.

Afternoon temperatures warmed into the upper 80s to mid 90s, with dewpointreadings in the upper 70s to low 80s. A weak boundary extended out of eastern Nebraska across northern Iowa. This boundaryhelped to focus moisture. At the same time, a negatively tilted shortwave lifted northeast out of the Rockies into Nebraskaduring the afternoon and early evening. The lifted index fell to -10 to -14 C by evening with CAPE rising to 5000-7000 J/kg inthe very moist airmass. The freezing level was very high, between 16,000 and 17,000 feet. As a result, there was little in theway of hail. The downdraft CAPE was quite high, 800 to 1400 J/kg. Thunderstorms formed in northeast Nebraska. Theyrapidly formed into an upscale MCS, and eventually a full-fledged MCC. Precipitable water values were extremely high, in the2.5 to 2.75 inch range. The primary mode of severe weather with the system was in the form of high wind. Wind gusts of 60 to70 MPH caused sporadic damage across western into central Iowa with tree damage, as well as damage to outbuildings. Thestorms produced one funnel cloud in Carroll County. The high precipitable water values led to very heavy rainfall withwidespread flash flooding. A swath of 2 to 5 inch rainfall extended from west central, through central, into parts of southeastIowa. There were numerous reports of a foot or more of flowing water over streets. Following the flash flooding, waterremained standing on many roads due to the soils across the state being nearly saturated. This resulted in some road closures.The Des Moines metropolitan area was hard hit as 3 to 5 inches of rain fell in 4 hours or less. This caused extensive flooding inthe city. Some evacuations took place. One was at a trailer court along Four Mile Creek on the east side of Des Moines.Numerous roads were closed on the west side as well as Walnut Creek jumped its banks. In fact, the creek set an all-timerecord high stage. Fast rising waters of North Walnut Creek flooded four basement apartment units in Clive with water rescuestaking place. Lightning struck a house in Adel, setting it on fire. The family was asleep at the time and were rescued by thefire department after the house had been on fire for 45 minutes. Damage to the house was around $1,000,000 as it was a totalloss, burned to the ground. In Black Hawk County, lightning struck the water treatment plant in Cedar Falls. Power wasknocked out, resulting in the discharge of 750,000 gallons of sewage into the Cedar River.

CAPE values were in the 3000 to 5000 J/kg range with lifted indices in the -5 to -10 C range. A frontal boundary shifted south during the late afternoon and evening. As the low level jet became moreactive overnight, it impinged on the frontal boundary. As this occurred, moisture pooled along and north of the front withprecipitable water values increasing to 2 to 2.5 inches. Thunderstorms formed in the strong theta-e advection from southeast,through central, into northwest Iowa. Initially the storms lifted northeast with the flow, but as the night progressed, they backdevelopedwith thunderstorms moving over the same areas repeatedly. Two to four inches of rain fell in a band extending fromnear Ottumwa, through Des Moines, to southwest of Fort Dodge, into the Spencer area. Flash flooding was widespread acrossthe area. Some of the worst flooding took place in Mahaska County. Flash flooding, estimated 8 feet deep, swept a car off ofHighway 92 east of Oskaloosa with the car ending up in a soybean field. There were 18 evacuations and rescues in and aroundthe town of Oskaloosa. There was no severe weather reported with this event.Story County3 N Ames 10121300CST1906CST 0 0 500.00K 50.00K FloodThe very wet weather pattern of June and July continued into the first two weeks of August. Central Iowa was hardest hit byrainfall with three consecutive nights of torrential rains on the 8th, 9th and 10th. Ankeny recorded 9.86 inches of rain over thesethree nights while Ames had 9.61 inches. Record flooding impacted much of Story, Polk, Jasper and Mahaska counties. Iowareceived a much needed break from the heavy rainfall for most of the second half of the month with a statewide average of only0.91 inches between 14th and the morning of the 31st. Moderate to heavy rain fell on the night of the 31st into early September1st over the southeast two-thirds of Iowa with the Ames Airport recording 4.13 inches. Most official reporting points recordrainfall once daily at about 7 a.m. CDT, thus in many cases the rain of late August 31 will go into the record books forSeptember 1. Monthly rain totals for August (through 7 a.m. August 31) varied from only 1.03 inches at Guttenberg to 16.07inches at Urbandale. August rainfall was well below normal over much of north central, northeast and far southwest Iowa. Theflooding was major along the Skunk and parts of the lower Des Moines River basin. Following the flash flooding of the 10thand 11th, major river flooding continued. Significant crop losses occurred because of the high water flooding fields for severaldays. Major damage was done along the Skunk Basin from Ames, through Colfax. Water from the South Skunk Rivercompletely covered portions of US Highway 30 near Ames and Interstate 35 just south of Ames. The water system wasknocked out in Ames, and threatened in Colfax. Highway 117 just south of Interstate 80 was closed and barricaded due towater over the road from the South Skunk near Colfax.

CAPE rose to 3500-4500 J/kgby the mid to late afternoon with lifted indices of -8 to -10 C. The moisture pooled over the state with precipitable water valuesapproaching 2 inches by evening. High temperatures reached the upper 80s to low 90s, with dewpoints topping out in the upper70s to low 80s. The atmosphere was fairly weakly sheared with 30 kts of available shear. Downdraft CAPE was between 1000and 1800 J/kg. Available CAPE in the -10 to -30 C layer of the atmosphere was 800-1100 J/kg, but hail was limited by thehigh freezing level, 16,000 to 16,500 feet. Quarter size hail fell in Calhoun County as an intense storm passed though. Thesame storm cluster produced a funnel cloud in Sac County earlier. Scattered winds occurred with the storms. A 61 MPH windgust was recorded in Eagle Grove for example and windows were blown out in Humboldt County south of Thor. One of thethunderstorms produced a tornado in Emmet County. The tornado touched down briefly over Lake Iowa. Thunderstormsbecame more organized during the evening and produced very heavy rainfall. In addition to the rainfall, scattered reports ofhigh winds and some hail up to an inch and one quarter in size were received. Most of the wind reports were around 60 MPH.By far the most significant weather was the heavy rainfall. Three to 5 inches of rain fell on saturated ground, resulting in a verywidespread flash flood event. Nearly half of the CWA was involved from parts of north central Iowa south to the Missouriborder. Numerous roads were covered with flowing water of 1 to 2 feet in depth. Lightning struck a car at mile post 105 onInterstate 35 in Story County. No injuries were reported. Lightning also struck a house in Ankeny, causing a fire. The flashflooding claimed one life in central Iowa. Three vehicles were swept into the waters of Mud Creek near Altoona in PolkCounty. There were 11 people involved. A rescue call was made to save the occupants of the cars. One 16 year old femaleperished in the flood waters, the other 10 were rescued, though 4 were injured and received treatment at a local hospital. Theflash flooding transitioned into widespread flooding as the night progressed into the day of the 11th. Flash flooding resulted inevacuations of apartments and trailer courts on the east side of Des Moines. Interstate 35 was covered by water due to flashflooding at mile post 97. Several cars spun out in the flood waters. Very intense rainfall in the Ames area resulted in a recordcrest on Squaw Creek. The creek crested 1.5 to 2.5 feet above the record high stage. Major flooding took place and the watertreatment plant was inundated. Major damage was done to several buildings on the Iowa State Campus. Damage to Iowa Statealone was between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000. Flooding from the Skunk River closed U.S. Highway 30. Thirty peoplewere rescued at a Wal-Mart store in Ames as well.

CAPE rose to 3500-4500 J/kgby the mid to late afternoon with lifted indices of -8 to -10 C. The moisture pooled over the state with precipitable water valuesapproaching 2 inches by evening. High temperatures reached the upper 80s to low 90s, with dewpoints topping out in the upper70s to low 80s. The atmosphere was fairly weakly sheared with 30 kts of available shear. Downdraft CAPE was between 1000and 1800 J/kg. Available CAPE in the -10 to -30 C layer of the atmosphere was 800-1100 J/kg, but hail was limited by thehigh freezing level, 16,000 to 16,500 feet. Quarter size hail fell in Calhoun County as an intense storm passed though. Thesame storm cluster produced a funnel cloud in Sac County earlier. Scattered winds occurred with the storms. A 61 MPH windgust was recorded in Eagle Grove for example and windows were blown out in Humboldt County south of Thor. One of thethunderstorms produced a tornado in Emmet County. The tornado touched down briefly over Lake Iowa. Thunderstormsbecame more organized during the evening and produced very heavy rainfall. In addition to the rainfall, scattered reports ofhigh winds and some hail up to an inch and one quarter in size were received. Most of the wind reports were around 60 MPH.By far the most significant weather was the heavy rainfall. Three to 5 inches of rain fell on saturated ground, resulting in a verywidespread flash flood event. Nearly half of the CWA was involved from parts of north central Iowa south to the Missouriborder. Numerous roads were covered with flowing water of 1 to 2 feet in depth. Lightning struck a car at mile post 105 onInterstate 35 in Story County. No injuries were reported. Lightning also struck a house in Ankeny, causing a fire. The flashflooding claimed one life in central Iowa. Three vehicles were swept into the waters of Mud Creek near Altoona in PolkCounty. There were 11 people involved. A rescue call was made to save the occupants of the cars. One 16 year old femaleperished in the flood waters, the other 10 were rescued, though 4 were injured and received treatment at a local hospital. Theflash flooding transitioned into widespread flooding as the night progressed into the day of the 11th. Flash flooding resulted inevacuations of apartments and trailer courts on the east side of Des Moines. Interstate 35 was covered by water due to flashflooding at mile post 97. Several cars spun out in the flood waters. Very intense rainfall in the Ames area resulted in a recordcrest on Squaw Creek. The creek crested 1.5 to 2.5 feet above the record high stage. Major flooding took place and the watertreatment plant was inundated. Major damage was done to several buildings on the Iowa State Campus. Damage to Iowa Statealone was between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000. Flooding from the Skunk River closed U.S. Highway 30. Thirty peoplewere rescued at a Wal-Mart store in Ames as well.

The airmass feeding into these storms wasextremely unstable, with temperatures in the 100 to 106 degree range and dewpoint temperatures in the 60s and 70s. This ledto rapid storm intensification, with the first severe thunderstorm warning being issued less than 30 minutes after the stormsformed.The Manhattan airport tower measured a wind gust of 93 mph at the peak of the storm, with similar wind speeds in the 70 to 95mph range from southern Manhattan through Ogden and other parts of southern Riley county. The storm complex trackedeastward across southern Pottawatomie, northern Wabaunsee, southern Jackson, northern Shawnee and Jefferson counties.While it weakened a bit as it pushed east, the storms left a swath of wind damage.Additional severe thunderstorms developed along the front to the northeast and southwest of the initial complex, bringingrepeated rounds of damaging winds of 50 to 70 mph, a few reports of hail larger than quarters, and intense cloud to groundlightning.

Rainfall for the months of June, July and August wasvariable, consisting of isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms. Many locations were one to over three inchesbelow normal for the month of August. The Office of the State Climatologist and the Kentucky Energy and EnvironmentCabinet designated most western KY counties a drought management area because water supplies were down. The governor ofKentucky sought a federal disaster declaration for west Kentucky due to substantial agricultural losses due to drought. Drypastures and diminished stock ponds were problematic for livestock producers. A farmer with corn in Daviess County revealedthat his corn yield was down about 30 percent from last year's yield of 160 to 170 bushels per acre. The extension agent inMcLean County stated that the drought really cut into the soybean and corn crops. He stated that the soybean harvest could bedown by more than 50 percent and the corn off by 40 percent. Hot conditions increased evaporation rates and crop stress. Dueto increased wildfire risk, a ban on outdoor burning was imposed in a number of counties from Crittenden and Lyon west to theMississippi River.

Southwest flow aloft was in place across the Northern Plains region, ahead of an upperlevel trough over the Northern Rockies. A potent upper level impulse ejecting from the base of the trough provided the triggerfor two areas of strong to severe convection. The first area was near a stationary boundary across southern North Dakota, whereintense thunderstorm winds of 80 to near 100 mph were observed. The second area was ahead of a cold front over north centralNorth Dakota, where an isolated tornadic supercell developed and spawned an EF3 tornado near Bowbells.Well into this event, Severe Thunderstorm Watch number 605 was issued across southwest and south central North Dakota inanticipation of a Mesoscale Convective System over southwest North Dakota tracking eastward along the South Dakota borderarea. By the time of the watch issuance, the tornadic supercell over north central North Dakota had dissipated.Multiple severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings were issued. Several reports of large hail, numerous reports of strongthunderstorm winds, and one confirmed EF3 tornado was received during this episode.The EF3 tornado tragically claimed one fatality. An automobile traveling east on Highway 52 was picked up and carriedseveral hundred yards before being thrown into a field. Another person in the car was injured.

The city of La Grulla remained under avoluntary evacuation into early August as waters began to recede slowly. As a precautionary measure in the city of Roma, threesmall subdivisions located in the low lying areas and along the bank just south of the Port of Entry were placed undermandatory evacuation. These included De La Cruz sub-division about (20 to 25 homes), Campo Verde (4 homes), and Garzasub-division (1 home). The flooding in Starr County had impacted at least 178 homes/businesses, including 65 in La Grulla and39 in Roma. 166 families required temporary housing. Preliminary damages to highways and bridges in Starr County was at$19 million; preliminary public and private property estimates were listed at an additional $18 million. Agricultural damagewas also notable in flooded areas. Note: Since the bulk of the flood related damages occurred in July, dollar estimates are listedwith the July report. [<strong>Data</strong> will be available later in September].Torrential rainfall from Hurricane Alex and remains, followed by daily peltings of rain across the front range of the SierraMadre Oriental, and concluding with the remnants of Tropical Depression Number 2 dropped perhaps 50 or more inches of rainacross Coahuila Province, Mexico, which flowed steadily through the Rio Grande basin, requiring a series of planned floodcontrol actions to mitigate the possibility of severe river flooding across the Lower and Middle Rio Grande Valley. Severeflooding in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, México from June 30th through July 2nd, from an estimated 30 inches of rain in thisarea was a portent of future impacts on the Rio Grande during the weeks to come, lasting for much of July and the first third ofAugust.Major flooding along the river south of Falcon International Reservoir continued through August 3rd due to maintained releasesof 60,000 cfs at the dam. Flood conditions (50 feet or higher) continued a few days beyond, with levels dropping below floodstage on August 10th at 330 am CDT. In total, the river was in flood at Rio Grande City, and at points immediately upstream inStarr County, from the afternoon of July 8th through the early morning of August 10th, 33 days in total!A number of small communities along the Rio Grande west of the Lower Rio Grande Valley Flood Control System wereimpacted by the now sprawling river for most of July, soon after the large releases began at Falcon International Reservoir.These included locations from Starr County immediately downstream of the dam, extending along the river to the HidalgoCounty line. Voluntary and mandatory evacuations were ordered for a number of threatened communities; as of this writing, nofatalities had been reported directly from the high waters. There were dozens of water rescues on the river through the period,many of them transmigrants attempting to cross from Mexico into Texas.On August 3rd, President Obama declared most counties in the Rio Grande Valley a Major Disaster, eligible for federal fundingto assist with the longer term recovery. Deep South Texas Counties included Starr and Zapata (due to flooding). Property andCrop damages from the flood in Starr and Zapata Counties will ultimately total over $50 million when all assessments arecompleted. As of July 29th, property damage estimates in Starr County had reached $37 million; additional property damagevalues had not been received from Zapata County.

In Cameron County, there were no reports of structural damageas the North Floodway tracks in largely uninhabited country. However, several paved and unpaved roads were flooded insidethe levees, including the Federal Highway 77 (Expressway) frontage road (the Expressway was well above the water level),County Road 506, and FM 1425 (along the Cameron/Hidalgo County line).The North Floodway finally drained to mud toward the end of the month. The end date of the high water is a best estimate.Crops may have been destroyed by the flood along North Floodways, but damage in northwest Cameron County was unknownas of this writing.

The city of Los Ebanos, surrounded on three sides by the river, wasmost impacted by the flood, which was well over a mile wide for several weeks. Major flooding continued into the first days ofAugust - most likely August 4th.Voluntary evacuations continued in the area between Cuevitas and Penitas into early August; conditions improved by the 10thas the river returned to its banks. At that point, the cleanup of mud caked mud filled structures and roadways began - theseefforts would continue into September.In all, hundreds of structures, as well as paved and unpaved roads, were damaged significantly by the long duration flood. Mostof these were in Los Ebanos, but others were along or south of Military Highway between Cuevitas and the south portion ofPenitas. Five homes were evacuated near Military Road in Havana where the river flooded them.

At the same time, the diversion maintained several feet of waterin the floodways for days to come which receded more slowly. The floodway emptied out for the most part by August 15th,but local high water hazards continued through at least the 18th.These floodways, protected by a robust system of levees and gates, protected communities outside of the levees by containingup to 50%, or 4 to 8 to feet of fast flowing water, within them into the first third of August. Unfortunately, a number ofresidences, dozens of paved and unpaved roads with low water bridges, and some agriculture are located within the floodways;significant damage was noted in several locations. Pumping and plugging operations near Weslaco and La Villa successfullykept high water out of poor drainage locations where the potential for freshwater flooding due to heavy rains would have beenexacerbated with periodic thunderstorms, which did not materialize in August. Closed roads included FM 493 and FM 1015,each moderately traveled; at least five homes were flooded along the Main Floodway south of Pharr along I Road; 15 to 20homes were asked to voluntarily evacuate, and at least two other residences were flooded south of Weslaco near FM 88.Floodwaters also submerged portions of the Llano Grande golf course in Mercedes.Voluntary evacuations were finally lifted along I Road (Capote Farms subdivision) on August 18th at 6 PM CST, where the 15to 20 homes mentioned above were located. Wet, muddy conditions continued in these areas until the last week of August;damage assessments began on roadways and bridges impacted in the floodway after the waters finally receded. In all, thefloodways contained water for more than 6 weeks.High flowing water along the river covered a large portion of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge (SantaAna) south and southeast of Pharr, including a number of unpaved roads. Damage to the roads was unknown at this time; theflooding occurred downstream of the Anzalduas Diversion Dam; river gages downstream at San Benito and Brownsvilleremained in action stage. Floodwaters did not reach public or private structures, nor roadways, between the Refuge and theMain Floodway. The water finally receded back to muddy pockets sometime between August 27th and 28th.There was one reported fatality in early August; a man drowned after reportedly driving his car accidentally into the fastflowing waters of the floodway late on August 1st or early on August 2nd. His body was found along the south side of the MainFloodway, near S. Jackson and W.

While thelevees protected most property behind them, a number of structures built inside the levees suffered significant and costly waterdamage, from Penitas to south of Granjeno.The structures included the popular river front Chimney Park RV Resort, which had more than 3 feet of water cover half of theland and property; Pepe's on the River Bar and Grill and the Riverside Club, favorite haunts for Winter Texans and localresidents alike which provide river views but unfortunately were covered by feet of mud after the flood waters subsided inAugust. Some crop may have been destroyed by the flood, but damage was unknown as of this writing in this area. Propertydamage may have exceeded [$5] million in these areas alone.

The end date of the high water is a best estimate. InWillacy County, there were no reports of structural damage. However, FM 507 and FM 1420, as well as several paved andunpaved county roads, were closed at low water crossings inside the levee. Earlier in July, a leaky levee valve requiredpumping water away from homes just east of FM 1420 immediately north of the Levee Road near Santa Monica.Crops may have been destroyed by the flood along North Floodway, but damage in the Willacy County portion was unknownas of this writing. Infrastructure damage to roads and low water bridges may have exceeded [$x] thousand in southeasternWillacy County.

Severeflooding in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, México from June 30th through July 2nd, from an estimated 30 inches of rain in thisarea was a portent of future impacts on the Rio Grande during the weeks to come, lasting for much of July and the first third ofAugust.Major flooding continued for nearly a month at Rio Grande City - and by proxy, southwest Hidalgo County - continuingthrough August 3rd! Flood conditions (50 feet or higher) continued a few days beyond, with levels dropping below flood stageon August 10th at Rio Grande City and just a little bit later in southwest Hidalgo County. In total, the river was likely in floodat points downstream in southwest Hidalgo County, from the morning of July 9th through at least August 10th - more thanmonth.A number of small communities along the Rio Grande west of the Lower Rio Grande Valley Flood Control System wereimpacted by the sprawling river into early August, while releases remained at 60,000 cubic feet per second at FalconInternational Reservoir until July 29th. These communities included locations in southwest Hidalgo County. The system oflevees and floodways (spillways) downstream of Penitas (where improved levees begin along the river itself) largely worked asdesigned, containing and diverting water along the river and associated floodways extending through southern and easternHidalgo County into extreme northern Cameron and extreme southern Willacy County. However, additional water damageoccurred to properties built inside the levees and floodways. Voluntary and mandatory evacuations were ordered for a numberof threatened communities; as of this writing, no fatalities had been reported directly from the high waters. There were dozensof water rescues on the river through the period, many of them trans migrants attempting to cross from Mexico into Texas.On August 3rd, President Obama declared most counties in the Rio Grande Valley a Major Disaster, eligible for federal fundingto assist with the longer term recovery. Deep South Texas Counties included Cameron and Hidalgo. Property and Cropdamages from the flood may ultimately total well over $50 million when all assessments are completed. As of the end of July,property damage estimates in Hidalgo County had reached $22 million. Crops planted in flood zones were destroyed by thelong duration of nutrient rich waters.

A surface lowdeveloped in association with the tropical disturbance, and thunderstorms became well-enough organized around the lowpressure area for the system to be declared a Tropical Depression Seven at 11 am AST on the 25th. Tracking just north of duewest, Earl became a tropical storm at 5 pm AST on the 25th, the fifth tropical storm of the season. By late afternoon on the26th Earl was becoming better organized as it continued moving westward over the Central Tropical Atlantic. At 5 pm on the28th, a tropical storm watch was issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands, Vieques and Culebra, around 48 hours before the expectedarrival of tropical storm force winds, and was upgraded to a Hurricane Watch at 11 pm, which also included mainland PuertoRico. Earl strengthened into a hurricane at 830 am on the 29th based on a report from the hurricane hunter aircraft. At 11 amon the 29th, a tropical storm warning was issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands, Vieques Culebra, and mainland Puerto Rico, ahurricane watch remained in effect. As of 5 pm on the 29th, Earl continued to strengthen and was heading for the northernmostLeeward Islands. By 2 am on the 30th Earl was passing north of Barbuda and its rainbands were approaching the VirginIslands. At 5 am, the hurricane warning was issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands, and was extended to Culebra and Vieques at 11am, when Earl became a major hurricane (Category 3) since its maximum sustained winds had increased to near 120 mph. Itwas then located around 95 miles east northeast of Saint Thomas, or about 165 miles east of San Juan. The eye of Earl passedjust north of the British Virgin Islands, and its closest point of approach to the U.S. Virgin islands was around 3 pm on the 30thwhen it was located about 60 miles northeast of Saint Thomas. By 5 pm Earl strengthened into a category 4 hurricane, withmaximum winds of around 135 mph while it was moving away from the Virgin Islands. The hurricane warning for the U.S.Virgin Islands, Vieques and Culebra was changed to a tropical storm warning, and the hurricane watch for mainland PuertoRico was discontinued but the island remained under a tropical storm warning. Earlâs closest point of approach to San Juanwas at 7 pm when it was located about 95 miles northeast of San Juan. The tropical storm warning was discontinued at 7 am onAug. 31 for both the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The forecast called for Earl to impact the U.S. Virgin Islands withrainfall amounts of four to eight inches with isolated amounts of up to twelve inches over higher terrain. Recorded rainfallamounts for Aug. 30th at the Saint Thomas airport was 3.02 inches, and 1.91 inches at the Saint Croix Airport. No significantrains were recorded for Aug. 29 and or 31. The NWS Coop Station at Coral Bay Saint John recorded 2.42 inches for the 24hour period ending on the 30th. Downed trees were reported on Saint Thomas and Saint John, and a few on Saint Croix. Powerwas out over most of Saint Thomas and Saint John on Monday Aug 30th, and in pockets on Saint Croix. Four boats wentashore on Cruz Bay Saint John.On September 28, 2010 President Obama issued a major disaster declaration for U.S. VirginIslands to supplement the recovery from the effects of Hurricane Earl. The surface winds recorded by the FAA observationplatform at the Saint Thomas Airport measured a maximum sustained wind of 53 mph from the west southwest at 551 pm ASTon the 30th, with a gust of 69 mph from the west at 550 pm AST. The Saint Croix airport sensor measured a maximumsustained wind of 37 mph from the west at 156 pm AST on the 30th, and a wind gust of 49 mph from the west southwest at 320pm AST on the 30th. Other reports from non NWS sensors across the USVI like the UVI CAR ICOOS Weather Flow TwoBrother Site across the Pillsbury Sound northwest of Cruz Bay, recorded a hurricane force wind gust of 75 mph around midafternoon on the 30th.PUERTO RICOGuaynabo7 NW Guaynabo 10 1150AST1415AST 0 0 0.00K 0.00K FloodMartinez Nadal Avenue was reported flooded in the municipality of Guaynabo.Mayaguez3 SW Mayaguez 10 1353AST1630AST 0 0 0.00K 0.00K FloodRoad 2 with intersection with Los Corazones Avenue was reported flooded.Mayaguez3 SW Mayaguez 10 1401AST1630AST 0 0 0.00K 0.00K FloodRoad Doncella was reported flooded at Urb.

A surface lowdeveloped in association with the tropical disturbance, and thunderstorms became well-enough organized around the lowpressure area for the system to be declared a Tropical Depression Seven at 11 am AST on the 25th. Tracking just north of duewest, Earl became a tropical storm at 5 pm AST on the 25th, the fifth tropical storm of the season. By late afternoon on the26th Earl was becoming better organized as it continued moving westward over the Central Tropical Atlantic. At 5 pm on the28th, a tropical storm watch was issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands, Vieques and Culebra, around 48 hours before the expectedarrival of tropical storm force winds, and was upgraded to a Hurricane Watch at 11 pm, which also included mainland PuertoRico. Earl strengthened into a hurricane at 830 am on the 29th based on a report from the hurricane hunter aircraft. At 11 amon the 29th, a tropical storm warning was issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands, Vieques Culebra, and mainland Puerto Rico, ahurricane watch remained in effect. As of 5 pm on the 29th, Earl continued to strengthen and was heading for the northernmostLeeward Islands. By 2 am on the 30th Earl was passing north of Barbuda and its rainbands were approaching the VirginIslands. At 5 am, the hurricane warning was issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands, and was extended to Culebra and Vieques at 11am, when Earl became a major hurricane (Category 3) since its maximum sustained winds had increased to near 120 mph. Itwas then located around 95 miles east northeast of Saint Thomas, or about 165 miles east of San Juan. The eye of Earl passedjust north of the British Virgin Islands, and its closest point of approach to the U.S. Virgin islands was around 3 pm on the 30thwhen it was located about 60 miles northeast of Saint Thomas. By 5 pm Earl strengthened into a category 4 hurricane, withmaximum winds of around 135 mph while it was moving away from the Virgin Islands. The hurricane warning for the U.S.Virgin Islands, Vieques and Culebra was changed to a tropical storm warning, and the hurricane watch for mainland PuertoRico was discontinued but the island remained under a tropical storm warning. Earlâs closest point of approach to San Juanwas at 7 pm when it was located about 95 miles northeast of San Juan. The tropical storm warning was discontinued at 7 am onAug. 31 for both the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Across Puerto Rico, the highest 24 hour rainfall amounts ending atmidnight on Aug 30th were recorded in Naguabo, 5.18 inches, and Orocovis, 5.04 inches. Elsewhere across the easterninterior, central interior, and north central, rainfall amounts varied from 3 to around 4 inches. Downed trees, and flooded roadswere reported in various sectors.

Reference Notes:<strong>Storm</strong> <strong>Data</strong> Disclosure<strong>Storm</strong> <strong>Data</strong> is an official publication of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) whichdocuments the occurrence of storms and other significant weather phenomena having sufficient intensity to cause lossof life, injuries, significant property damage, and/or disruption to commerce. In addition, it is a partial record of othersignificant meteorological events, such as record maximum or minimum temperatures or precipitation that occurs inconnection with another event.Some of the information appearing in <strong>Storm</strong> <strong>Data</strong> may have been provided by or gathered from sources outside theNational Weather Service (NWS), such as the media, law enforcement and/or other government agencies, privatecompanies, individuals, etc. An effort is made to use the best available information, but because of time and resourceconstraints, information from these sources may be unverified by the NWS. Therefore, when using information from<strong>Storm</strong> <strong>Data</strong>, customers should be cautious as the NWS does not guarantee the accuracy or validity of the information.Further, when it is apparent information appearing in <strong>Storm</strong> <strong>Data</strong> originated from a source outside the NationalWeather Service (frequently credit is provided), <strong>Storm</strong> <strong>Data</strong> customers requiring additional information should contactthat source directly.
