I can agree with that.....I know it happened in my hometown when the flash floods and persistent rain happened a few weeks ago, (without a Hurricane), the raging waters broke all the records and destruction was far greater then when they endured past hurricanes.....

One of the problems here is that we really don’t have anyone locally who writes about weather in any depth. To me that is surprising, because we are home to a very prominent public university.

I try to read Kevin Myatt, who covers the Roanoke/New River Valley (southwest of me) and the Capital Weather Gang (northeast of me) to get a feel for more big picture analysis, rather than just the local weather forecast for the next 24 hours.

Myatt has been talking about the potential for much larger rainfall totals for several days.
