A storm of historic proportions brought heavy rainfall to the coastal Carolinas on September 16, near the border of the two states. Although the storm never received a name, it caused significant impacts in the region. Per the National Weather Service report in Wilmington, North Carolina:
“Historic rainfall occurred across the Cape Fear Region of southeastern North Carolina on September 16, 2024. Gauges and automated radar estimates showed that 12 to 20 inches of rain fell in only two days, creating severe flash flooding affecting Carolina Beach, Southport, Bolivia, and Boiling Spring Lakes. Although this system never became a named tropical system, observed weather impacts including strong winds, heavy rain, and flash flooding were similar to tropical storms and hurricanes of the past.”
