Rainfall Totals for the Carolinas

A very impressive amount of rainfall for the Carolinas. For nearly 4 days, rain pummeled the region. The highest 4-day total I could find was 26.88" near Mt Pleasant SC. Interestingly, other locations near Mt Pleasant 'only' saw 16" or so. It just goes to show how localized these heavy rain bands affected certain areas, some separated by just a few miles. The one below is from the Charleston SC NWS office.

Now, many residents will face major flooding along area rivers for the next few days still.
