Flooding Event May 4th - 8th, 2003

The heaviest rain in quite some time fell across northern Alabama in early May 2003. For many locations, it was the wettest month in a decade or more.

One automated precipitation station in Northeast Huntsville reported 0.96" of rain in just five minutes -- and over four inches in an hour!
