Episode Narrative Moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Sally moved into western North Carolina during the evening of the 16th and continued into the morning of the 17th. 2 to 4 inches of rain fell across much of the area in about 20 hours, resulting in minor flooding across the upper French Broad basin.
Event Narrative A stream gauge on the Little River exceeded its established flood stage after 2 to 3 inches of rain fell throughout the basin in about a 20-hour period. The main impact was to lowlands along the stream and to Cascade Lake Rd, which was covered by more than a foot of water in spots. Minor river flooding also developed on the French Broad at Blantyre during the evening of the 17th and continued for almost 48 hours.
