The heavy rain on already saturated ground led to a significant flash flood event across Stone, Perry, and George Counties in southeast Mississippi. Over a foot of rain was recorded in parts of Stone County. A CoCoRahs station just northeast of Perkinston, MS measured a storm total of 14.07. A personal weather station near Wiggins, MS recorded 12.89.
