Between December 1 and December 9, 2004, much of the Tennessee Valley received between 8 and 10 inches of rainfall. When combined with a wet November, these heavy rain events caused creeks, streams, and rivers across the area to flood. The heaviest rain fell from December 5th through the 8th, with several locations receiving 6 to 7 inches of rain over the 3-day period (for comparison, 5.59 inches of rain is normal for the entire month of December at Huntsville airport!)
