OUTSTANDING STORMS OF THE MONTH

TEXAS AND NEW MEXICO RAINFALL

Just three months after a devastating flash flood event affected the semi-arid region, extensive damage again occurred when record floods threatened homes, motorists, and major highways. An unseasonably strong cold front interacted with a tropical-like air mass over west Texas and southeastern New Mexico produced periods of widespread thunderstorms and very heavy rainfall from July 24 to July 28. Torrential rains fell during the pre-dawn hours on July 25 over the Guadalupe Mountains along the Texas and New Mexico border and over the Lower Trans Pecos region of west Texas. NEXRAD radar estimates indicated six to eight inches of rainfall over northern Terrell County. Rainfall amounts recorded by automated observing sites over the steep and rocky terrain of Guadalupe Mountains National Park measured five inches.

The heavy rainfall and associated runoff in Terrell and eastern Pecos Counties caused extensive damage as flash floods along the Pecos River and smaller creeks threatened major highways and structures. An eighteen foot tall flood wave propagated down Dry Creek and washed away segments of a Texas State Highway 349 bridge north of Dryden. Slabs of asphalt that measured 100 feet were removed. Huge mounds of debris blocked the highways at several locations and other bridges were threatened. Raging waters along the swollen Pecos River carried vehicles and camping trailers miles downstream and killed livestock. A ranch headquarters sustained major structural damage as the rushing Pecos River registered record heights.

This was the second major highway bridge to be destroyed by flash floods following the collapse of an Interstate 20 bridge in April. (Photo courtesy: The Midland

Reporter Telegram.)

In southeastern New Mexico, runoff from the Guadalupe Mountains caused extensive flash flooding of numerous draws and creeks in the foothills and adjacent plains of Eddy County. Rushing flood waters trapped motorists in low water crossings on several secondary roadways. Swift water rescue teams from area fire departments and military helicopter rescue crews from Fort Bliss, Texas spent most of the day bringing stranded flood victims to safety.

FLOODING IN SOUTH CAROLINA

A record-setting flash flood occurred over part of the Greenville metro area during the morning of July 29, 2004. Six to eight inches of rain fell just east of Berea, a northwestern suburb, and the Reedy River through downtown Greenville crested 9 ft above flood stage, its highest level since 1908.

Pima County 10 SE Tucson 17 2000MST 0 0 0 0 Flash Flood 2130MST A trained spotter reported two to three feet of running water in roadway dips along Houghton Road which made Houghton Road impassable at several areas. The center of an upper level high was generally over west central Texas allowing the mid level flow over the southwest to be from the southeast. This allowed plenty of moisture to flow into our CWA as was indicated by the KTUS sounding having a precipitable water value of 1.49 inches. The 00Z sounding indicated plenty of CAPE leading the storms to intensify into the evening. Diurnal heating was the main factor in driving thunderstorm development helping to destabilize the atmosphere.

Newspapers reported that the same storm caused a tree to be downed on a home on Ederbrooke Road, and an NWS employee reported that another tree was uprooted and across Ina Road between La Cholla Road and La Canada Road. With a jet diving into northern portions of Arizona, moisture and dynamics were sufficient for strong storm development. The storm prediction center had issued a severe thunderstorm watch for portions of Southeast Arizona due to these favorable conditions. A weak impulse was embedded in the flow overhead, along with better shear which all helped to lead to severe thunderstorm development. The storms were producing heavy rain and gusty winds in excess of 55 MPH. The winds were strong enough to knock down power poles and uproot trees in Northern Pima County.

This is one of the storm shelters at Parsons Company near Roanoke, IL. The shelters helped save the lives of 140 people who were in the plant at the time the F4 tornado struck. The picture was taken by Chris Geelhart, HMT at the WFO ILX office. The tornado touched down around 234 pm CDT approximately 1.75 miles north-northeast of Metamora in western Woodford County. The tornado traveled southeast for about 2.5 miles, before beginning a temporary eastward jog between county roads 1300E and 1400E. The tornado curved southeast again, striking the Parsons Company, Inc.'s manufacturing plant around 241 pm CDT. The plant was severely damaged by the tornado. Approximately 140 people were in the plant at the time, but all personnel made it to storm shelters in time (approximately 3 to 5 minutes before the tornado arrived). Steel beams and metal siding from the plant were found approximately three quarters of a mile east in a farm field.

From the plant, the tornado continued east, just south of Illinois Route 116/117, affecting 4 farmsteads approximately 1/2 to 1 mile east of the plant. Two of the farmsteads closest to the plant (about 1/2 to 3/4 mile east) had the 2-story houses completely blown away, with only debris remaining in the basements and nearby property. The other two farmsteads had significant damage to the 2-story houses with outbuildings demolished. The center of the tornado tracked about 100 yards south of the houses located on the south side of the road.

From the plant to the farmsteads, the average width of the tornado was 400 yards and was close to 1/4 mile wide at times. The greatest tornado intensity was during this approximately 1 mile stretch and has been rated F4 by the National Weather Service.

At this point, the tornado began to move more east-southeast and caused significant damage to a barn near the intersection of County Roads 1300N and 1600E, about 2.5 miles southwest of Roanoke. The tornado continued to move east-southeast and damaged a house about 1.25 miles south-southwest of Roanoke, near the intersection of County Roads 1300N and 1700E. The tornado crossed 1300N shortly afterward and curved sharply to the southeast. The tornado lifted around 254 pm about 2 miles southeast of Roanoke, at County Road 1900E.

A thunderstorm developed in a near tropical atmosphere just east of Dubuque, Iowa along a weak boundary that stretched from Decorrah, to Dubuque, to near Sterling, Illinois. The very slow movement of the storm combined with high atmospheric moisture resulted in prolific rainfall rates. Due to the hilly terrain of the area, flash flooding quickly developed around 20 minutes after the downpour started. Rainfall with the storm varied with the co-op observer in town reporting 1.68 inches of rain with a spotter in another part of town reporting 2.75 inches of rain. KDVN 88D and KLOT 88D did quite well in estimating rainfall in spite of the hail. KDVN 88D estimated 2.8 inches of rain and KLOT 88D estimated 2.7 inches of rain. KMKX and KARX 88D viewing angles gave estimated rainfall of over 3 inches. Although the rain ended by 1700 CST (2300 UTC), a sheriff deputy reported pushing water with his 4x4 when he left for home between 1730 and 1800 CST (2330 and 0000 UTC).

Camden County Countywide 12 1643EST 0 0 5M Flash Flood 13 1000EST During the afternoon and early evening of the 12th, a series of thunderstorms with torrential downpours and heavy rain moved across Camden County. Even heavier rain fell in Burlington County. The combination of the heavy rain in Camden County and the runoff from streams in Burlington County produced record breaking crests along the Copper River and Pennsauken Creek in Camden County. Widespread poor drainage flooding occurred. The worst flooding damage occurred in both Camden and Cherry Hill. Many major roads were closed. On Friday July 16th, President George W. Bush declared Camden and neighboring Burlington Counties disaster areas. This cleared the way for government grants and low interest loans. Agricultural damage was expected to be in the millions in both counties, especially to the cranberry bogs where many retention walls and earthen roads were damaged. Property damage was estimated at five million dollars, most of it in Cherry Hill. In spite of all of the record flooding and water rescues, no serious injuries were reported.

Rain, heavy at times, fell throughout most of the morning and afternoon on the 12th, but it started intensifying late in the afternoon. In Burlington County, at the South Jersey Regional Airport in Lumberton New Jersey, torrential downpours began at 507 p.m. EDT and continued until the 945 p.m. EDT observation. During that four hour period 4.45 inches of rain fell.

In Camden City, vehicles stalled on Kaighn and Reeves Avenues and River Road. Flood waters reached up to four feet in yards. In Cherry Hill Township, flood damage was centered in the Fox Run Development on Sequoia Road. The development backs to the North Branch of the Cooper River. Thirteen families were evacuated and the foundation to three homes partially collapsed. Many other Cherry Hill homes had basement flooding. The main stem of the Cooper River flooded homes in Collingswood. The failure of a dam gate at Columbia Lakes off of Church Road forced the closure of New Jersey State Route 38 on the 13th. A large sink hole closed the heavily traveled County Route 561 in Cherry Hill.

The Cooper River at Haddonfield had a RECORD BREAKING crest of 6.20 feet at 1 a.m. EDT on the 13th. The previous record was 5.46 feet on August 28, 1971. The river was above its 2.8 foot flood stage from 543 p.m. EDT on the 12th through 11 a.m. EDT on the 13th. The North Branch of the Cooper River at Ellisberg had a record breaking crest of 7.63 feet.

This continued for several hours and resulted in widespread storm totals exceeding 6 inches across most of the Rancocas Creek Basin. A storm total of 13.20 inches was reported in Tabernacle within a 12 hour period and represented a once in a thousand year storm. The excessive rain caused record breaking flash flooding along nearly every stream in the Rancocas Basin and led to the failure or damage of 44 dams in Burlington County. Widespread poor drainage flooding also occurred. The combination of the dam failure and stream flooding led to the evacuation of 760 residents, the destruction of seven homes in Lumberton and Southampton Townships, major flood damage to around 200 homes, flood damage to about 1,000 homes, countless water rescues from vehicles and homes, the closing of 25 major roads including the New Jersey Turnpike, New Jersey State Routes 70 and 73, the contamination of drinking water and failure of sewage systems and the serious damage or destruction of fourteen bridges. Hardest hit municipalities included Lumberton, Medford, Medford Lakes, Mount Laurel, Pemberton and Southampton all of whom declared states of emergency. The Trenton-Camden High Speed Rail Line suspended service because of flooding along the main stem of the Rancocas Creek. On Friday July 16th, President George W. Bush declared Burlington and neighboring Camden Counties disaster areas. This cleared the way for government grants and low interest loans. Agricultural damage was expected to be in the millions, especially to the cranberry bogs where many retention walls and earthen roads were damaged. Property damage was estimated at fifty million dollars. In spite of all of the record flooding and water rescues, no serious injuries were reported.

Rain, heavy at times, fell throughout most of the morning and afternoon on the 12th, but it intensified further late in the afternoon. At the South Jersey Regional Airport in Lumberton New Jersey, torrential downpours began at 507 p.m. EDT and continued until the 945 p.m. EDT observation. During that four hour period 4.45 inches of rain fell. This airport was located along the western edge of the heaviest rain. An automated gage in New Lisbon recorded 5.19 inches of rain within one hour between 715 p.m. and 815 p.m. EDT. While flooding was already occurring, conditions worsened quickly at around 930 p.m. EDT when the Davy Crockett Dam at Camp Ockanickon failed (Medford). This started a domino effect as the Lake Stickwell Dam (Medford) failed, then the Papoose Dam (Medford), the Upper Aetna Lake Dam (Medford Lakes), the Lower Aetna Lake Dam (Medford Lakes) and the Birchwood Lake Dam (Medford) all within 90 minutes. The dam failure exacerbated the ongoing flooding along Haynes Creek and the Southwest Branch of the Rancocas Creek. Downtown Lumberton Township which is just downstream from the confluence of the Southwest and South Branches of the Rancocas Creek was one of the hardest hit areas. In all 44 dams in the county either failed or were damaged. This included eight significant hazard dams that failed mainly in Medford and Medford Lakes. The lakes behind eight damaged dams were ordered lowered for safety reasons. Most of the dams were privately owned. Debris from the lakes was carried as far as one mile downstream as docks, canoes and furniture were swept away. Canoes were found wrapped around trees.

About 760 people were evacuated from Lumberton, Medford, Medford Lakes, Mount Laurel, Pemberton and Southampton to 10 shelters opened throughout the county. The main shelter at Lenape Regional High School remained opened until the 16th. Two hundred people were still displaced from their homes on the 19th and seventy-five were still displaced on the 27th. Twenty-five main roads were closed during the evening of the 12th. On the next day (13th), fifteen major roadways remained closed including New Jersey State Route 70 in Southampton Township because of a washed away bridge. Nine of the roads were still underwater. One dozen roads were still closed on the 16th. New Jersey State Route 70 was reopened with a temporary bridge on the 19th. Burlington County Route 541 through downtown Lumberton was not reopened until the 30th. Four golf courses were damaged: Golden Pheasant, Medford Lakes, Medford Village and Ramblewood. Mail deliveries were delayed in Medford and Southampton. In southern Burlington County, the flow along the Wading and Batsto Rivers was too dangerous to allow kayaking, canoeing and swimming. Clearance under some bridges was less than one foot. Flooding also closed the historic Batsto Village. A mosquito invasion was feared because of all the additional standing water.

In Lumberton Township, about 100 homes and businesses were evacuated along the downtown area (Landing Street and Burlington County Route 541 - Main Street). Landing and Main Streets were under six feet of water from the South Branch of the Rancocas Creek. Burlington County Route 541 remained closed through the 30th as residents were not allowed back to their homes for as long as one week because officials feared electrocution and homes had contaminated water. The township's sewage pump station was underwater during the height of the storm. All the downtown homes were inspected before residents were allowed to return and two were razed because of foundation problems.

In Medford Lakes Village, Beach Drive between Lower and Upper Aetna Lakes was destroyed. Lenape Trail near Burlington County Route 541 was washed away. Numerous vehicles were stranded on the road. About a dozen people were rescued from roof tops of vehicles. The village's wastewater treatment plant shut down after a sixty foot long pipe ruptured. Raw sewage from septic systems contaminated the water supply. Residents were asked to not limit water disposal and drink bottled water or boil the tap water before using it. The sewage plant was back on line on the 14th. The Trading Post Way small business district near the base of Lower Aetna Lake was badly damaged. Two homes and two businesses in the village were declared uninhabitable. Even the firehouse was not safe as it was flooded and several of the trucks were damaged. Repairs to the three damaged dams (Lower Aetna, Upper Aetna and Quoque) was expected to cost 7.5 million dollars.

In Medford Township, about 200 people were evacuated mainly near the Timber Lake Dam. As a precaution, the lake was drained.

OKZ016 Custer 01 0730CST 0 0 Flood 2000CST The first significant heavy rainfall and flood event of July occurred during the late evening of June 30 and early morning of July 1 as a large complex of thunderstorms moved through western Oklahoma. Multiple thunderstorms tracked over the same areas and dumped heavy rains of 2 to 5 inches over the region with the highest totals falling just north of Clinton, OK in Custer County. Rainfall reports in the Clinton area included 4.5 inches 3 miles west of Arapaho, 3.5 inches 6 miles west-southwest of Arapaho, and 3.1 inches 1 mile north of Clinton.

The subsequent heavy runoff produced flooding along the Washita River and some of its tributaries in Custer County. At 7:30 am CST on July 1, Beaver Creek overflowed its banks and covered Arapaho Street to depths up to 3 feet near the northeast side of Arapaho, OK. In addition, Barnitz Creek overflowed its banks at 1:30 pm CST 2 miles north-northwest of Clinton, and covered 28th Street to a depth of one foot. The area of flooding was approximately 1 mile northwest of the confluence of Barnitz Creek with the Washita River.

The heavy runoff from Barnitz Creek was eventually routed downstream into the Washita River and produced minor to moderate flooding along the Washita River in Custer and Washita counties on July 1. Runoff from Beaver Creek also contributed to the flooding. At the river gage site one mile north of Clinton on U.S. Highway 183, the Washita River crested at 20.1 feet, 2.1 feet above flood stage, at 3:00 pm CST on July 1, and was above flood stage from 9:00 am CST to 8:00 pm CST on July 1. Mainly rural flooding was observed as some croplands along the Washita River were briefly covered by floodwaters, but areas of the Nance Rotary Park and a softball field were also inundated for several hours during the afternoon of July 1.

Minor rural flooding occurred along the North Canadian River 3 miles north of Seiling, OK at the river gage site. The North Canadian River crested at 11.2 feet, 0.2 feet above flood stage, at 11:00 pm CST on July 1, and was above flood stage from 10:30 pm CST on July 1 to 4:30 am CST on July 2.

Meanwhile, rainfall totals of 2 to 3 inches in south central Kansas and north central Oklahoma during the evening of July 2 and the early morning of July 3 produced minor flooding along the Chikaskia River in northeastern Grant and Kay counties. At the river gage site 1 mile northeast of Blackwell, the Chikaskia River crested at 29.8 feet, 0.8 feet above flood stage, and remained above flood stage from 6:00 pm CST on July 2 to 4 am CST on July 3. In addition, the Chikaskia River crested above flood stage at the river gage site near Braman, OK, which is upstream of the Blackwell site in northwestern Kay County. The Chikaskia River near Braman crested at 6.0 feet, 1 foot above flood stage, at 9:00 am CST on July 2, and remained above flood stage from 2:00 am CST to 10:00 pm CST on July 2.

Heavy rainfall total of 2 to 3 inches on June 30-July 1 also produced flooding in south central Oklahoma in Stephens County. Runoff from these rains caused Mud Creek to overflow its banks and produce minor flooding in eastern Jefferson County on July 2-5. Mud Creek crested at 23.1 feet, 3.1 feet above flood stage, at 8:00 am CST on July 4 at the USGS river gage site near Courtney, OK. Mud Creek remained above flood stage from 9:30 am CST on July 2 to 3:30 am CST on July 5.

A large complex of thunderstorms erupted over southeastern Pecos County, northeastern Brewster County, and much of Terrell County during the pre-dawn hours Sunday. Terrell County received the heaviest rainfall, with KMAF 88D Doppler radar estimates that totaled seven to nine inches over rural portions of north-central Terrell County between 03:00 and 12:00 CST. Widespread and damaging flash flood conditions resulted across the west Texas Lower Trans Pecos.

This heavy rainfall and its associated runoff produced flash flooding along Dry Creek and Independence Creek. Local officials reported that a wall of water that measured eighteen feet in height propagated down Dry Creek in the pre-dawn hours. The debris-filled flood waters severely damaged a bridge on State Highway 349 twenty-five miles north-northeast of Dryden. By midday an earthen and concrete embankment on the north end of the bridge was washed away, and the structure was cracked in several locations. Only a single concrete pillar and a thin layer of asphalt prevented a complete collapse.

In addition to the extensive damage sustained to the bridge, large segments of State Highway 349 also were washed away between the intersection of Farm to Market Road 2400 and Dry Creek as water rushed through low lying areas and small tributaries. Stretches of pavement measuring 100 feet in length were stripped away. At 16:20 CST local officials reported more than three feet of water flowing over Big Canyon Bridge fifteen miles north of Dryden. Later reports indicated that the bridge did not sustain significant structural damage.

Raging flood waters also deposited huge mounds of mud and gravel up to four feet deep over the highway. With a lull in thunderstorm activity during the mid afternoon, flash flooding along State Highway 349 generally receded by 15:00 CST. Road crews worked for days to remove the vast amount of debris and damage that resulted from the flood waters. Terrell County 28 NE Dryden 25 0500CST 0 0 0 0 Flash Flood 1200CST Flash flooding impeded operations at the Terrell County Gas Plant Sunday morning when employees became stranded due to water that flowed through the plant's secondary road network.

This crest combined with the continuation of heavy rainfall caused extensive flash flooding in rural areas east and southeast of the city.

Shortly before 16:00 CST travelers on Interstate 10 witnessed a pickup truck and a camper trailer floating beneath the Pecos River bridge. A search downstream by local authorities ensued, but many rural location across along the river were inaccessible due to extensive flooding. It was later determined that the pickup and camper trailer were swept into the Pecos River by flash flooding on the Pecos River Ranch near Sheffield. The vehicle and trailer were vacant when they were overtaken by raging flood waters, and were ultimately found many miles down river near the Rio Grande. Several head of cattle also were killed in the flood waters. Terrell County 36 NE Dryden 25 0600CST 0 0 200K 0 Flash Flood 0900CST

Large trees were uprooted, debris destroyed a swimming pool, and several structures sustained damage including cracked foundations. Photo courtesy: National Weather Service - Midland/Odessa, Texas.

The first of two flash floods along the Pecos River in northeastern Terrell County occurred just before sunrise. Runoff from the Dry Creek flood that damaged State Highway 349 emptied into the Pecos River from the lower portion of Independence Creek. The Chandler Ranch headquarters, located in a flood plain adjacent to the merger of Independence Creek and the Pecos River, sustained serious damage.

Ranch residents described a large "wall" of water that swept through the flood plain and inundated the headquarters. Large trees were uprooted by the currents. A swimming pool was destroyed by debris carried in the raging water. Several structures, including a permanent residence, were severely damaged. Damage to the headquarters was aggravated by a second significant flood wave that propagated down the Pecos and produced another round of flash flooding on the grounds late Sunday evening. TXZ082 Terrell 25 0630CST 0 0 100K 0 Flood 26 1500CST Flood waters from the swollen Dry Creek isolated thirteen workers from the Grey Wolf Drilling Company. The men were stranded on an "island" for almost thirty-six hours at an oil well site twenty-two miles northeast of Dryden.

During this period a strong, slow-moving upper level system moved through Texas, producing multiple rounds of thunderstorms along and near a quasi-stationary front in north Texas and southern Oklahoma during the two-day period on July 27-29.

Rainfall totals for the 48-hour period ending at 6:00 am CST on July 29 reached 2 to 4+ inches in a wide swath that included most of western north Texas and south central Oklahoma. The hardest hit areas included the Brazos River basin in Knox and Baylor counties, and parts of the Wichita and Little Wichita River basins in Knox, Baylor, Archer, and Clay counties.

Storm total precipitation amounts of 4.5 to 7+ inches were observed in the southern halves of these three Texas counties, and some rainfall totals up to 10 inches were reported. Some of the highest totals measured included: Westover, TX - 9.15 inches; Goree, TX - 8.50 inches; Red Springs 1E, TX - 8.3 inches; Scotland, TX - 8.12 inches; Benjamin 4W, TX - 7.79 inches; Seymour, TX - 7.50 inches; Millers Creek Reservoir - 7.12 inches; Archer City, TX (coop site) - 6.62 inches; and Knox City - 6.0 inches. Unofficial storm total amounts of 10 inches were reported in the Archer City and Bomarton, TX areas.

The subsequent heavy runoff produced by these rains generated flash flooding and riverine flooding in western north Texas and flash flooding in south central Oklahoma. Minor to moderate rural flooding occurred along the Brazos River in Knox and Baylor counties on July 28-30 after the Brazos River basin received rainfall amounts of 2 to 3+ inches. The Brazos River at Seymour, TX crested at 14.9 feet, 2.9 feet above flood stage, at 10:30 pm CST on July 29, and remained above flood stage from 12:00 pm CST July 28 to 12:00 am CST on July 30.

Moderate to major rural flooding occurred along the South Wichita River in Knox County near Benjamin, TX on July 28-29. The South Wichita River crested at 16.8 feet, 4.8 feet above flood stage, at 11:45 am CST on July 28, and remained above flood stage from 5:00 am CST on July 28 to 9:00 am CST on July 29. This flood crest was the third highest crest of record at the USGS gage site.

Further downstream below the confluence of the South Wichita River with the Wichita River, moderate to major rural flooding occurred along the Wichita River in Baylor County near Seymour, TX and just upstream of Lake Kemp on July 28-29. The Wichita River crested at 16.84 feet (flood stage unknown) at 11:45 am CST on July 28. This flood crest was the fifth highest crest of record at the USGS gage site. The heavy runoff from the Wichita and South Wichita Rivers was beneficial for the Wichita Falls area as the reservoir levels at Lake Kemp rose several feet.

The Little Wichita River basin in Archer and Clay counties also saw significant rises during late July. The reservoir levels increased at both Lake Kickapoo and Lake Arrowhead. Moderate to major flooding occurred along the Little Wichita River in Archer County between Lake Kickapoo and Lake Arrowhead near Archer City, TX on July 28-30. The Wichita River crested at 25.21 feet (flood stage unknown) at 2:00 pm CST on July 29. This flood crest was the tenth highest crest of record at the USGS gage site.

Minor rural flooding occurred along the Little Wichita River in Clay County near Henrietta, TX on July 29. The Little Wichita River crested at 18.5 feet, 1.5 feet above flood stage, at 2:30 am CST on July 29, and remained above flood stage from 6:00 pm CST on July 28 to 3:00 pm CST on July 29.

Numerous highways and roads in Knox, Baylor, Archer and Clay counties were closed by floodwaters during the event, and a list of some of these roads/locations by county follows:

TYPHOON SUDAL

Sudal began on the morning of April 4th as a 35 mph tropical depression about 130 miles west-southwest of Chuuk. Initially moving northwest, Sudal became a tropical storm that night as it moved over the island of Puluwat. Its northwest movement took Sudal between Satawal and Ulul around 1200 SST on the 5th, and continued until the morning of the 6th, when Sudal was perched about 290 miles southeast of Guam as a tropical storm with maximum winds of 65 mph. Sudal then turned west, becoming a typhoon that afternoon and coming to within 230 miles south-southwest of Guam around noon on the 7th. At this point, Sudal was still moving west, and it appeared it would continue on a west-northwest track, dealing no more than a glancing blow to the northernmost islands of Yap State. But Sudal instead turned west-southwest the evening of the 7th, passing about 40 miles south-southeast of Fais the next morning. On the morning of April 9th, Typhoon Sudal turned west-northwest again, dealing Yap a severe blow as it passed just south of the main island.

Chuuk State:

After moving directly over Puluwat as a 40 mph tropical storm at 0100 SST on April 5th, Sudal passed 50 miles west-southwest of Ulul around 1200 SST. At Puluwat, the highest sustained wind was 23 mph from the west at 0700 SST. At Ulul, 6.68" of rain fell in the 24 hours ending at 1700 SST on the 4th.

Storm Damage in Chuuk State: Coastal inundation at Ulul was 2 feet or less, destroying some cultivated subsistence crops and contaminating the water supply, and beach erosion was slight. Some poorly-built structures lost their roofs. No deaths or injuries were reported.

Yap State:

In eastern Yap State, Sudal passed 115 miles east-northeast of Satawal with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph at 1300 SST on April 5th, then intensified over the next day and a half, reaching 85 mph as it passed 165 miles north of Woleai on the morning of the 7th at 0700 SST. Sudal continued to intensify, reaching 110 mph as it passed 40 miles south-southeast of Fais at 0900 SST April 8th, and 115 mph as it passed 65 miles south-southeast of Ulithi that afternoon at 1330 SST.

Only hand-held wind-measuring equipment is available at Satawal and Woleai, where winds of 25 mph gusting to 40 mph were estimated as Sudal passed. At Ulithi, the automated station recorded a highest sustained wind of 58 mph from the east-northeast at 2100 SST the evening of the 8th, followed two hours later by the peak gust of 82 mph. The lowest pressure of 991.6 mb was recorded at 1600 SST that afternoon. Rainfall was heavy, with 6.34 inches recorded in the 24 hours ending the 9th at 0100 SST. No measuring equipment exists on Fais, but conditions there were likely similar to those on Ulithi.

PACIFIC the southeast at 1157 SST. The peak gust of 112 mph from the southeast was recorded at 1135 SST. However, a NWS assessment team determined from damage on the south end of Yap Island that maximum sustained winds there were likely in the low typhoon category 3 range of 115 to 120 mph gusting to 140 mph. The lowest sea-level pressure was 958.5 mb at 1050 SST. Rainfall at the airport totaled 5.24 inches in the 24 hours ending at 2200 SST on the 9th, while 7.88 inches fell in the 48 hours ending at the same time. A brief eye passage was observed on the extreme southern tip of Yap.

At the time of its closest approach to Yap, Sudal was also passing 70 miles north-northeast of the tiny island of Ngulu. No functioning instrumentation exists on Ngulu, but sustained winds likely reached around 50 mph from the northwest, with gusts to around 70 mph, as Sudal passed. No rainfall measurements are available, but from enhanced infrared imagery it is probable that 6 to 9 inches of rain fell during Sudal's passage.

Storm Damage in Yap State: In spite of Sudal's intensity and the massive damage it wrought on Yap, no deaths or serious injuries were reported anywhere in Yap State. Damage for individual islands or island groups is summarized below:

Satawal, Woleai, Faraulep, Ifalik, Eauripik, Lamotrek and surrounding atolls: Coastal inundation was 1 to 2 feet, except 2 to 3 feet at Faraulep, with moderate beach erosion. Many cultivated subsistence crops such as breadfruit and coconuts were damaged or destroyed by salt spray, and some water sources were contaminated by salt.

Fais: Because Fais is an elevated island, coastal inundation was not significant, but 14 to 18 foot surf brought moderate to severe beach erosion. Water sources were partly contaminated by sea spray. Some poorly-built structures were damaged, especially wood and tin roofs.

Ulithi: Coastal inundation of 2 to 3 feet and surf ranging from 14 to 18 feet resulted in moderate to severe beach erosion and contamination of some water sources. Most subsistence crops were destroyed by inundation and sea spray, and a few trees were lost as well. Some wood and tin roofs were damaged, and some poorly-built structures were lost.

Yap: Since Yap itself was pounded by Sudal's eye wall for 4 or 5 hours, it suffered by far the worst damage of any location in Yap State. Over 90% of the buildings and other structures were damaged or destroyed. Out of 1700 residences, 700 were destroyed. Of the remaining 1000 homes, only 41 were undamaged. The hospital, airport, most government facilities, and the water, power and communications systems were all severely damaged. Wooden homes suffered the worst, while concrete structures fared much better. Along the eastern and southern coasts, the storm surge destroyed the many wooden homes built along the shoreline, and severely damaged the seawall. Of the 8,000 or so residents on Yap, about 1500 were in shelters, of which about 1000 were homeless. Subsistence crops were almost totally destroyed, and the ground in coastal areas was saturated with salt water, making it unsuitable for cultivation. A storm surge of 8 to 12 feet, along with pounding surf as high as 22 feet, severely damaged the coral reefs, one of Yap's main tourist attractions.

Ngulu: Little information is available from Ngulu, other than that four of Ngulu's eight water storage tanks were destroyed. Otherwise, damage there was likely similar to that experienced at Ulithi.

Strong to severe storms developed north of a stationary front across Iowa and Northern Illinois during the afternoon and evening hours. A strong low level jet continuously pumped copious amounts of moisture over the front that resulted in heavy rain and flash flooding. The proximity of the front allowed sufficient wind shear to be present that allowed 6 tornadoes to develop during peak heating hours across Benton, Linn, and Jones counties. The KDVN 88D radar was taken out by a lightning strike just before 1800 CST but had estimated that close to 9 inches of rain had fallen across the Cedar Rapids metropolitan area and headwaters of Indian Creek.

ILLINOIS, Northwest The second of two squall lines that developed in western Iowa the night of 21 May 2004 moved across Eastern Iowa and Northwest Illinois during the morning hours. The squall line had weakened considerably during the night so severe weather was sporatic but produced heavy rain over areas that were already saturated and thus renewed flash flooding. The most impressive feature of the squall line as it approached was a very prominent shelf cloud that could be observed from horizon to horizon.

Water running off fields into roadside ditches A storm system affected the region during the afternoon and evening hours bringing a warm front and cold front through the area. A tropical atmosphere allowed more heavy rain to occur, and, due to exceedingly wet antecedent conditions, more flash flooding occured albeit quite localized. The triple point of the warm/cold/occluded fronts moved through Iowa, Benton, and Buchanan counties. This area had a desirable shear profile that allowed several tornadoes to develop. Further south in Lee County Iowa, mesoscale boundaries left over from the early morning storms allowed additional tornadoes to develop due to favorable shear profiles. The storms in Southeast Iowa organized into another squall line that raced eastward into Illinois.

ILLINOIS, South Jefferson County 6.2 W Woodlawn to 30 1729CST 18 75 0 0 100K Tornado (F1) 3 ENE Dix 1757CST From Washington County, the tornado entered western Jefferson County about 5 miles south of where Interstate 64 crosses the county line, then moved northeast across the interstate near the Woodlawn exit. A semi was blown off the interstate near the exit. The tornado passed just south of Dix, then lifted north of Texico, less than 2 miles from the Marion County line. Damage in this very rural area consisted of numerous trees down and destroyed sheds and barns. About two dozen houses sustained damage, mostly due to trees falling on them. Many trees were on power lines, and power poles were snapped. The damage path was not continuous. The tornado was rated F-1 for just a brief portion of its track, where maximum winds were estimated near 110 MPH. Widespread damaging winds raked all of southern Illinois. The storms were in the form of short lines or bows as they moved through Jefferson, Perry, and Jackson Counties, including Mount Vernon and Carbondale. A couple of tornadoes were spawned in those areas. As the storms moved east, they evolved into an intense squall line, producing widespread damaging gusts around 60 MPH with isolated higher gusts to 90 MPH. Numerous trees were blown down in nearly every county. Some of the trees fell on

ILLINOIS, South power after numerous trees fell. Several of the trees landed on houses, causing severe damage to at least one house. Trees fell on vehicles in Mount Carmel, where gusts were reported to 68 MPH. At least two occupied vehicles were struck by falling trees, one on Route 34 north of Harrisburg, and another north of Old Shawneetown. In both cases, the occupants were freed by rescue workers without being injured. In Harrisburg, trees fell on several houses and vehicles, and a radio tower used for fire dispatch operations was blown down. Two roofs were blown off of houses in Raleigh, just north of Harrisburg. A tree fell on a house in Thebes, near the Mississippi River in Alexander County. The most intense winds (estimated near 90 MPH) occurred in Massac County about 5 miles west of Round Knob, where a house lost portions of its roof and attic. At least 10 to 15 trees were reported down in Massac County. The storms produced very heavy rain that caused street flooding. The U.S. Highway 51 overpass on the north side of Cairo was blocked by high water.

A tropical atmosphere allowed more heavy rain to occur, and, due to exceedingly wet antecedent conditions, more flash flooding occured albeit quite localized. The triple point of the warm/cold/occluded fronts moved through Iowa, Benton, and Buchanan counties. This area had a desirable shear profile that allowed several tornadoes to develop. Further south in Lee County Iowa, mesoscale boundaries left over from the early morning storms allowed additional tornadoes to develop due to favorable shear profiles. The storms in Southeast Iowa organized into another squall line that raced eastward into Illinois.

TROPICAL STORM OMAIS

Tropical Depression 06W had its beginning on the morning of May 16th, about 415 miles southeast of Yap. As it moved northwest, it became Tropical Storm Omais late that evening. Omais continued on a northwest track until, at 0700 SST on the morning of the 18th, it was centered just 80 miles southeast of Yap with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph. From there it was forecast to move over Yap that evening as a typhoon with 80 mph winds. Instead, Omais maintained its 70 mph intensity and turned suddenly to a west-northwest track, passing 35 miles southwest of Yap that afternoon around 1300 SST. By 1900 SST that evening, Omais was 100 miles west of Yap, still a tropical storm with 70 mph winds, and moving quickly away.

Coming only five weeks after Typhoon Sudal devastated Yap, Omais caused considerable anxiety among Yap residents as it approached, especially among those still living in tents or other temporary shelters. However, Omais's sudden left turn the morning of the 18th, along with its small size, spared Yap from experiencing any damaging winds or flooding rains. At the Yap Weather Service Office, the highest 2-minute wind was only 23 mph from the north at 0657 SST, and the maximum gust was 41 mph from the east at 1010 SST. The maximum 24-hour rainfall was 1.85 inches through 1600 SST on the 18th, and the lowest sea-level pressure was 1005.6 mb at 1454 and 1554 SST. No deaths, injuries or damage were reported anywhere in Yap State.

ILLINOIS, Northwest resulted in secondary crests.

Stream flows began the month with all locations experiencing either much above normal conditions or daily record maximum flows. The high stream flows were due to a combination of heavy rain and high stream flows in May across Northeast Iowa and Northwest Illinois. Stream flows gradually fell through the 10th, when most locations were reporting above normal conditions. Some locations reported either near normal or much above normal conditions.

Stream flows then rose again on the 11th in response to locally heavy rains. On the 11th, most locations stream flows that were either above or much above normal. A few locations reported conditions that were near normal.

Stream flows then gradually fell during the remainder of the month, except for the 14th, 17th, and 21st. On those dates, locally heavy rainfall resulted in additional but short-lived rises in stream flows. On those dates, stream flows were mostly above or much above normal. A few locations reported conditions near normal. In each of these three situations, however, stream flows began reverting back to their gradual fall by the next day.

The month ended with stream flows that were either near or above normal. About half the locations reported stream flows that were near normal, while the other half of the locations reported stream flows that were above normal.

River flooding that began in May 2004 continued into June 2004. Following is an edited write up from the Service Hydrologist:

Major to near record flooding was reporting during the month, with many locations setting daily maximum flow records at least one time during the month.

The month began with rather light precipitation. Even though the precipitation was light, some stream levels were still high due to the high rainfall amounts in May. June began with many locations at or near crest, or experiencing falling stream levels from crests in May. The middle of the month brought additional moderate rainfall, with amounts generally of 1 to 2 inches. This rainfall led to additional rises on some rivers. For those rivers that were still above flood stage, the additional rain either slowed the fall or resulted in secondary crests.

Three to four inches of rain fell over Waushara county and the southern half of Winnebago county during the morning hours of the 11th. Many rivers in that part of the state were already swollen after weeks of much above normal rainfall. The torrential rainfall flooded streets and highways, including U.S. Highway 41 (the major highway through Winnebago co.). A bridge on the west side of Oshkosh (Winnebago co.) sustained damage, from the high waters of Sawyer Creek, and had to be closed until it could be inspected. Highways reopened to traffic by the afternoon of the 12th. Flooding of streets and numerous homes and businesses caused the closure of downtown Wautoma (Waushara co.). The eastern part of Waushara county experienced significant crop damage.

Flooded basements were commonplace. Overburdened sewer systems caused raw sewage to backup into homes, mainly in Oshkosh. In some cases water and/or sewage was more than 5 feet deep. Many residences sustained damage, including foundation damage and collapsed basements, due to water and sewage flooding basements. Two homes were destroyed, 207 had major damage and 445 had minor damage.

A middle school in Oshkosh was set up as an emergency shelter for residents whose gas or power had been disconnected for safety reasons.

The overnight crew at a major home improvement retailer in Grand Chute (Outagamie co.) let customers, desperate to dry out their basements, into the store at 4 AM on the 11th to purchase pumps after the customers began beating on the doors of the store. One hardware store in Oshkosh had hundreds of calls in the morning requesting pumps. The store went through 3 truckloads of pumps and assorted fittings and hoses that were shipped from stores in other parts of the area that didn't experience flooding.

Some of the information appearing in Storm Data may have been provided by or gathered from sources outside the National Weather Service (NWS), such as the media, law enforcement and/or other government agencies, private companies, individuals, etc. An effort is made to use the best available information, but because of time and resource constraints, information from these sources may be unverified by the NWS. Therefore, when using information from Storm Data, 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 Storm Data originated from a source outside the National Weather Service (frequently credit is provided), Storm Data customers requiring additional information should contact that source directly. In most cases, NWS employees will not have the knowledge to respond to such requests. In cases of legal proceedings, under Department of Commerce regulations and/or rules of the court, NWS employees are not legally obligated to provide written or verbal testimony.

Fatality Codes: For events that include a fatality, there is a code containing the gender, age and fatality location at the end of the event narrative. 1st letter: Gender (M/F) – 2nd numbers: Age – 3rd letters Fatality location (see table below) Example: M51IW – Male, 51 years of age, fatality occurred In Water.

List of Acronyms:

NWS - National Weather Service NOAA - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration WCM - Warning Coordination Meteorologist – The meteorologist at each NWS Office responsible for reporting severe weather events LST - Local Standard Time Storm Data attempts to always use “Standard Time” EST - Eastern Standard Time EDT - Eastern Daylight Time

424 CST - Central Standard Time CDT - Central Daylight Time PST - Pacific Standard Time PDT - Pacific Daylight Time

Other Notes:

An “Episode” is an entire storm system and can contain many different types of events.

An “Event” is an individual type of storm event.

When listing wind speed values under “Character of Storm”, ex. High Wind (G81), the G indicates a “Gust” which is a peak 5-second averaged wind speed in Knots (kts). 1 kt. = 1.152 mph. This number can be either E (estimated) by damage caused, or M (measured) by known calibrated anemometers. Ex. (M61) = measured 61 knots or E(75) = estimated at 75 knots.

All wind speeds listed are estimated by NWS personnel by the amount and type of damage unless otherwise noted with an “M” which represents an actual wind speed as measured by official NWS approved anemometer.

When listing hail size under “Character of Storm”, ex. Hail (2.25), the hail size is given in inches and hundredths of inches.

When listing property and crop damage, the figures indicated are the best guess made by the NWS from the available sources of information at the time of the printing.

The fatalities, injuries, and damage amounts appearing in tropical cyclone events are attributed only to wind damage experienced in the coastal counties/parishes listed. Other tropical cyclone related events such as tornadoes and flooding are listed within their separate event types.

425 The Saffir-Simpson Scale

Category One Hurricane:

Winds 74-95 mph (64-82 kt or 119-153 kph). Storm surge generally 4-5 ft above normal. No real damage to building structures. Damage primarily to unanchored mobile homes, shrubbery, and trees. Some damage to poorly constructed signs. Also, some coastal road flooding and minor pier damage.

Category Two Hurricane:

Winds 96-110 mph (83-95 kt or 154-177 kph). Storm surge generally 6-8 feet above normal. Some roofing material, door, and window damage of buildings. Considerable damage to shrubbery and trees with some trees blown down. Considerable damage to mobile homes, poorly constructed signs, and piers. Coastal and low- lying escape routes flood 2-4 hours before arrival of the hurricane center. Small craft in unprotected anchorages break moorings.

Category Three Hurricane:

Winds 111-130 mph (96-113 kt or 178-209 kph). Storm surge generally 9-12 ft above normal. Some structural damage to small residences and utility buildings with a minor amount of curtainwall failures. Damage to shrubbery and trees with foliage blown off trees and large tress blown down. Mobile homes and poorly constructed signs are destroyed. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the hurricane center. Flooding near the coast destroys smaller structures with larger structures damaged by battering of floating debris. Terrain continuously lower than 5 ft above mean sea level may be flooded inland 8 miles (13 km) or more. Evacuation of low-lying residences with several blocks of the shoreline may be required.

Category Four Hurricane:

Winds 131-155 mph (114-135 kt or 210-249 kph). Storm surge generally 13-18 ft above normal. More extensive curtainwall failures with some complete roof structure failures on small residences. Shrubs, trees, and all signs are blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Extensive damage to doors and windows. Low-lying escape routes may be cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the hurricane center. Major damage to lower floors of structures near the shore. Terrain lower than 10 ft above sea level may be flooded requiring massive evacuation of residential areas as far inland as 6 miles (10 km).

Category Five Hurricane:

Winds greater than 155 mph (135 kt or 249 kph). Storm surge generally greater than 18 ft above normal. Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings. Some complete building failures with small utility buildings blown over or away. All shrubs, trees, and signs blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Severe and extensive window and door damage. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the hurricane center. Major damage to lower floors of all structures located less than 15 ft above sea level and within 500 yards of the shoreline. Massive evacuation of residential areas on low ground within 5-10 miles (8-16 km) of the shoreline may be required.

426 The Fujita Scale F-Scale Intensity Wind Speed Typical Damage (Suggested) (mph)

F0 Gale Tornado 40 - 72 Tree branches broken, chimneys damaged, shallow-rooted trees pushed over; sign boards damaged or destroyed, outbuildings and sheds destroyed

F1 Moderate 73 - 112 Roof surfaces peeled off, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned, moving autos pushed off the roads, garages may be destroyed. Category 1-2 hurricane wind speed

F2 Significant 113 - 157 Roofs blown off frame houses; mobile homes rolled and/or destroyed, train boxcars pushed over; large trees snapped or uprooted; airborn debris can cause damage. Category 3-4 hurricane wind speed F3 Severe 158 - 206 Roofs and walls torn off well constructed houses; trains overturned; large trees uprooted, can knock down entire forest of trees. Category 5 hurricane wind speed F4 Devastating 207 - 260 Well-constructed frame houses leveled; structures with weak foundations blown off some distance; automobiles thrown, large airborn objects can cause significant damage.

F5 Incredible 261 - 318 Brick, stone and cinderblock buildings destroyed, most debris is carried away by tornadic winds, large and heavy objects can be hurled in excess of 100 meters, trees debarked, asphalt peeled off of roads, steel reinforced concrete structures badly damaged.

F6 Inconceivable 319 - 379 These winds are very unlikely. The small area of damage they might produce would probably not be recognizable along with the damage produced by F4 and F5 wind speeds that would surround the F6 winds.
