The wider storm

The combination of a stalled front and very slow moving upper level low combined with very deep Gulf moisture to generate rounds of showers and thunderstorms. Rainfall amounts of 4 to 12 inches fell across the area and led to numerous reports of flooding. Significant flash flooding was reported in parts of Escambia County AL, particularly from Brewton east to the Damascus area. The Murder Creek in Brewton crested in moderate flood stage at just under 27 feet on the morning of October 6th.

Began near Camden Muni Arpt (32.0100, -87.3200).
