Radar Estimates Show Rainfall Totals Across Area
December 15, 2009
What a difference a few miles can make — most of North Escambia was spared the incredible rain totals that caused massive flooding in Atmore Monday night.
Radar estimates from the National Weather Service show that over one foot of rain fell in a narrow band along Highway 31 from Perdido to Nokomis to the west side of Atmore. In Atmore and in a swath between I-65 and just north of Highway 31 to Highway 113, radar estimates 8-12 inches of rain.
At the Alabama/Florida State line on Highway 97, radar shows about five inches of rain. Just a short distance south at Highway 97 and Highway 4, radar indicated less than two inches of rain.
The extreme northwestern corner of Florida did experience extremely heavy rainfall — up to about a foot near Nokomis. The Flomaton and Century areas experienced two to three inches.

we estimated around 2ft. of rain in about 4hrs.
“The Flomaton and Century areas experienced two to three inches.”
and once again the NWS is full of it. We got 2-3 inches in about 30 minutes on Monday night. The rain gauge was filling up too fast to keep it emptied, but my best estimate is 10 inches just north of Flomaton.
