The wider storm
Moisture from Tropical Storm Eta was drawn northward into the Mid Atlantic during the day of Wednesday November 11th. Meanwhile, a slow moving cold front approached the area and made its way through central North Carolina during the day Thursday, resulting in widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms. Rainfall totals were generally in the 4 to 6 inches range, although some spots near Rocky Mount saw close to 10 inches of rain by the time the event drew to a close. This resulted in numerous flooded road, including one death resulting from the flash flooding. One thunderstorm also caused some localized storm damage in Sampson County.
