Historic rainfall brought 1,000-year rain event to Blue Ridge

The cleanup continues across North Georgia after a historic rainfall event dumped more than 11 inches of rain in parts of the mountains, washing out roads and triggering significant flooding. Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan says some of the rainfall totals from Wednesday night into Thursday morning reached levels rarely seen in the region. “Wednesday night into Thursday morning, an historic rainfall event producing 100 and even 1,000-year rainfall totals,” Monahan said. One of the most extreme totals was recorded just northwest of Blue Ridge, where more than 11 inches of rain fell in a 24-hour period. “This particular total at 11 inches is what we call a thousand-year rain event,” Monahan said.

Instead, it describes the probability of receiving that much rain during a certain period. Monahan said an 11-inch, 24-hour rainfall total in Blue Ridge has about a 0.1% chance of occurring
