Hurricane Ivan moved steadily northward
across the north central Gulf of Mexico
on September 15th before turning north-
northeast and making landfall near Gulf
Shores, Alabama as a Category 3 hurri-
cane during the early morning of
September 16th.
Hurricane force winds affected the
lower portion of Plaquemines Parish.
The highest sustained wind recorded in
southeast Louisiana was at the NOAA
automated weather station at the South-
west Pass of the Mississippi River with
sustained winds of 72 knots (83 mph)
and gusts to 87 knot (100 mph) The
weather instruments are located at
approximately 100 ft above the sea
surface. Wind gusts of around 60 knot
(69 mph) were recorded at an automated
weather station along the coast near
Point a-la Hache. Outside of the lower
Plaquemines Parish area, tropical storm
force winds were recorded from coastal
Terrebonne Parish northeast through the
New Orleans area to eastern St. Tammany
Parish. The lowest barometric pressure
recorded was 983.6 mb at the Southwest
Pass automated weather station.
Lower portions of Plaquemines Parish
suffered the greatest wind damage.
Several school buildings suffered roof
damage as well as several public
government buildings. Around 100 mobile
homes had some type of wind damage,
with approximately 30 mobile homes
having major damage or were destroyed.
Seven houses suffered major wind
damage. 50 power poles were also downed
by high winds. In lower St. Bernard
parish about a dozen houses had some
type of wind damage. In other areas of
southeast Louisiana, generally only
minor wind damage was reported with
power outages. At least 55, 000
customers of the local electric power
company experience power outages.
The highest storm surge was confined
mostly to areas east of the Mississippi
River where storm surge averaged 3 to 5
feet above normal except locally higher
in some inlets. The highest storm surge
reading was 7.6 feet NGVD at Bayou
Dupre in St. Bernard Parish. The storm
surge flooded low lying property and
roadways outside of the hurricane pro-
tection levees in Orleans, St. Bernard
and Plaquemines Parishes. Around Lake
Pontchartrain and west of the Missi-
ssippi River, storm surge was 2 to 4
feet above normal.
No tornadoes were reported in southeast
Louisiana and storm total rainfall was
fairly light. The greatest storm rain-
fall total was 2.5 inches at Buras in
Plaquemine Parish.
Due to the threat posed by the powerful
hurricane, many area residents
evacuated the New Orleans metropolitan
area at the urging of local emergency
management officials. State Police
estimated that approximately 600,000
people evacuated from southeast
Louisiana including the the New Orleans
metro area prior to the hurricane.
Another 400,000 other coastal residents
from Florida, Alabama and Mississippi
moved through the area as they evacua-
ted to the west, away from the expected
landfall of hurricane Ivan. In an area
west of Kenner, eastbound lanes of
Interstate Highway 10 were reversed to
handle west bound traffic. Traffic jams
developed during the evacuation process
due to the large number of evacuees.
There were no direct fatalities related
to Hurricane Ivan, however four elderly
residents of southeast Louisiana died
during the large scale evacuation in
southeast Louisiana.
The Louisiana Dept of Insurance estima-
ted that insured property damage was
approximately $7.9 million. In a manner
utilized by the National Hurricane
Center for estimating storm damage, the
insured damage estimate was doubled to
arrive at total dollar damage of $15.8
million. Approximately 75% of the
damage was estimated to be related to
wind--$11.8 million. Approximately 25%
of the storm damage was estimated to be
related to storm surge--$4.0 million.

The remnant circulation of Hurricane
Ivan moved back into the Gulf of Mexico
and regenerated into a tropical storm
late on September 22nd. The weak tropi-
cal storm moved west to northwest and
passed south of the southeast Louisiana
coast before making landfall late on
September 23rd near the Louisiana-Texas
border. Weather impacts on the coast
were generally minimal. A few wind
gusts to tropical storm strength occur-
red on the coast. The highest wind gust
reported was 42 kt (48 mph) at the
automated NOAA weather station at the
Southwest Pass of the Mississippi
River. The weather station is located
about 100 feet above the sea surface. A
peak gust of 33 knot (38 mph) was
recorded at an automated weather
station in Tambour Bay of Terrebonne

The remnants of Hurricane Ivan moved
across the region during September 17th
and 18th, dropping anywhere from three
to locally in excess of six inches of
rain in many locations across Eastern
New York and adjacent Western New
England. Hardenburg, in Ulster County,
unofficially reported the most with
7.50" of rainfall during the two day
event. The heavy rains combined with an
unusually saturated ground and a high
water table from previous heavy rains,
produced significant runoff and
resultant flooding across the region.
The majority of flood damage sustained
from the heavy rainfall was confined to
roadways, with many roads, bridges and
culverts being washed out by
floodwaters. Landslides and serious
erosion occurred in the Town of
Hardenburg in Ulster County as the
Esopus Creek overflowed its banks.
Ulster County was especially hard hit
as the Emergency Management Official
for that county has estimated up to 2
Million dollars of damage to
infrastructure, while little if any
personal property damage was noted.
That county has been declared eligible
for aid through FEMA. Personal damage,
estimated at nearly half a million
dollars was noted in Schoharie County.
Additional damage occurred to several
docks and boats moored along Catskill
Creek and the Mohawk River. Low-lying
portions of mobile home parks in the
Village of Ravena were also evacuated
due to flooding during this event.
While power was temporarily shut off
and some telephone service was

After a relatively dry start to the
month, a potent late summer storm
system brought very heavy rain to parts
of southeast Minnesota and northeast
Iowa on September 14 and September 15.
Rain was most intense from near Mason
City, Iowa through the Austin area
(Mower County) to near Rochester
(Olmsted County). There were many areas
that had over 4 inches of rain, with
isolated higher amounts. In fact, the
highest unofficial totals were in the
Blooming Prairie area (Dodge County)
with 11.50 inches and 13.00 inches
reported.
Flash flooding was the initial problem,
but as all the rain drained into river
basins, many of the regional rivers and
creeks saw dramatic rises during the
overnight hours of September 14 and
into the morning of September 15. The
Austin area saw very high to record
crest levels on the Cedar River and
creeks leading into it. For example,
Turtle Creek at Austin had a record
setting crest of 14.77 feet, while a
record setting crest of 23.44 feet was
established on the Cedar River at
Lansing (Mower County). Other rivers
affected included the Zumbro and Root,
however flooding was not near as
significant in these locations. Mower,
Dodge and Olmsted counties were
declared federal disaster areas.
Hardest hit was the Austin area, where
flooding affected parts of the city and
widespread sand bagging efforts took
place. There were 350 homes in Mower
County, which received flood damage,
including 300 homes in Austin alone. A
20 year old man died on his way to
work, when he walked into high water
and was swept away. A 53 year old man
also died of a heart attack, while
assisting with sand bagging efforts.

Hurricane Ivan made landfall at 2:02
AM, September 16, near Gulf Shores,
Alabama as a upper Category 3
hurricane. The western side of Ivan
effected a large portion of Eastern
Mississippi as the center moved north
through Alabama. Thousands of trees
were blown down across Eastern
Mississippi during the event as well as
hundreds of power lines. The strong
wind itself did not cause much
structural damage, however the fallen
trees did. These downed trees accounted
for several hundred homes, mobile homes
and businesses to be damaged or
destroyed. Most locations across
Eastern Mississippi reported sustained
winds between 30 and 40 mph with
Tropical Storm force gusts between 48
and 54 mph. The strongest reported
winds occurred in Newton, Lauderdale
and Oktibbeha counties. A Mississippi
mesonet site, in Newton, reported
maximum sustained winds of 42 mph and
peak gust of 54 mph. At Key Field in
Meridian, maximum sustained winds were
reported at 43 mph with a peak gust of
61 mph. The highest sustained and peak
wind occurred at the Mississippi State
Climate Lab in Starkville. This site
reported maximum sustained winds of 52
mph and a peak gust of 64 mph.
Overall, rainfall totals were held in
check as Ivan steadily moved north. The
heaviest rains were confined to far
Eastern Mississippi where 3 to 4 inches
fell over a 15 hour period. Due to the
duration of the rain no flooding was
reported.
Across Eastern Mississippi, Hurricane
Ivan was responsible for one fatality.
This fatality occurred in Brooksville
when a tree fell on a man. Damage from
Ivan was estimated at $200 Million.

Hurricane Ivan moved steadily
northward across the the
north-central Gulf of Mexico on
September 15th before turning
north-northeast and making landfall
near Gulf Shores, Alabama as a
Category 3 hurricane during the
early morning of September 16th.
Hurricane Ivan made landfall far
enough to the east of the Mississippi
Coast to minimize the damage to the
coastal counties, however hurricane
force winds did affect Jackson
County. An anemometer on top of the
Emergency Operation Center in
downtown Pascagoula recorded a wind
gust to 76 knots (88 mph) as the eye
of the hurricane passed to the east
of area. Tropical storm force winds
occurred over Harrison and Hancock
Counties with wind gusts approaching
hurricane force in the coastal
waters. A wind gust of 68 knots (78
mph) was recorded by an automated
wind gage at Pointe Cadet in Biloxi
Harbor, and 53 knot (61 mph) wind
gust was recorded at the Emergency
Operations Center in Waveland.
Jackson County experienced the
greatest amount of damage among
coastal counties. A roof was blown
off of an apartment building in
Pascagoula and at least a dozen homes
suffered major damage either from
wind or from fallen trees. Around 100
homes had some type of wind damage,
along with 30 mobile homes and 25
businesses. Trees and large tree
limbs were toppled in many areas
contributing to power outages in
Jackson County. Wind damage was much
less over Harrison, Hancock, and
Pearl River counties. There were
scattered reports of fallen trees
and tree limbs, downing power lines
and causing damage to some houses.
The lowest pressure recorded along
the Mississippi Coast was 975.6 mb
at 2336 CST on September 15th at the
Pascagoula Airport. However power to
the weather instrument failed
shortly after this reading and a
lower reading is highly likely. At
Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi,
the lowest pressure of 982.9 mb
occurred at 0055 CST September 16th.
Storm surge was generally 3 to 5
feet above normal along the coast.
The highest storm surge recorded
was at the mouth of the Pascagoula
River near Pascagoula with a storm
surge 6.72 ft NGVD. Some tidal
surge flooding occurred in low
lying areas near the coast.
No tornadoes were reported. Storm
total rainfall varied from an inch
or less in Hancock County to around
6 inches in eastern Jackson County.
The highest rainfall total was
6.29 inches at the Pascagoula
Emergency Operations Center.
No direct injuries or fatalities
were noted in coastal Mississippi.
Total storm damage was estimated
at around 10 million dollars with
approximately 80 percent of the
damage due to wind ($6.7 million)
and 20 percent ($ 2.3 million) due
to storm surge damage.

Please see the detailed narrative
on Hurricane Ivan under Alabama,
Southwest, September 13-16, 2004.
Hurricane force winds, primarily
in gusts, occurred over most
interior portions of southeast
Mississippi during the late evening
hours of September 15th and the
very early morning hours of
September 16th. Duration of the
winds producing hurricane force
gusts was around two hours. These
strong winds downed some trees
across the region, some of which
fell onto structures which were
damaged as a result. Although Ivan
did produce wind damage across
southeast Mississippi, this damage
was neither as widespread nor as
severe as was the wind damage over
much of southwest Alabama and the
western Florida panhandle.

stalled close to the Interstate 95
corridor. The remnants of Jeanne
tracked along this frontal boundary. At
the same time a cold front approaching
from the Saint Lawrence Valley on the
morning of the 28th helped wring the

the top of Fishhawk Mountain and
flowed through the Peeks Creek
valley. The slide, consisting of
water, boulders, trees, mud, and
other debris, destroyed or severely
damaged 20 to 30 homes and mobile
homes. Four people and an unborn
child were killed as their homes
were overwhelmed by the debris.

In response to persistent moderate
to heavy rainfall associated with
the remnants of Hurricane Ivan,
severe flooding developed across the
mountains for the second time in
9 days. Flooding first developed
across the southwest mountains,
when several small streams and
creeks overflowed their banks,
including Toot Hollow Creek near
Bryson City. Several rescues were
required during the evening in Macon
County, as creeks and streams began
to threaten homes. Overnight,
flooding became more widespread,
with Macon County enduring the
worst of it. The Little Tennessee
River overflowed its banks during
the early morning of the 17th, and
continued to flood through much of
the day. The river flooded an
industrial park in Macon County,
causing extensive damage. In Swain
County, 500,000 gallons of raw
sewage and numerous natural gas
tanks were swept down the river.
Hundreds of structures were damaged
or destroyed, and several private
bridges were swept away. Portions
of highways 105, 64, and 28 were
all closed in Macon County, some due
to major damage that was estimated
to take several months to repair.
In addition, a trout farm lost
60,000 pounds of fish.

After an extended period of moderate
to heavy rainfall, flooding began in
Jackson County during the late
evening. Cope Creek was the first
stream to flood, and evacuations
became necessary along the creek.
Evacuations also occurred along the
Tuckaseegee River, as flooding
became quite severe overnight,
exceeding the magnitude of the flood
associated with Frances only 9 days
earlier. Severe flooding also
occurred along Scotts Creek, Caney
Fork, and Cullowhee Creek. Scoffs
Creek covered Front Street in
Dillsboro with 3 to 4 feet of
water. Several landslides occurred,
one of which destroyed several
storage units at Lake Glenville.
Large sections of some roads were
washed out by slides or flood water,
including portions of highways 19A,
281, 64, and 107, all of which were
closed for long periods.

first across the western part of the
county, when several secondary roads
became covered with water. During
the overnight hours, flooding
overspread the county, affecting
most valley communities, which
endured the second devastating
flood event in just 9 days. Severe
flooding developed first along
Allens and Hyatt Creeks, followed
by another round of severe flooding
along the Pigeon River, which
reached a record of 23 feet in
Canton. A 69-year-old woman died
when she attempted to drive her
vehicle through the flooded river
in Canton. A 27-year-old woman and
her 4-year-old son were also killed
during the evening of the 18th, when
the woman attempted to drive her SUV
through the flooded Pigeon River
which was flowing over a Forest
Service road off of 1-40. Numerous
businesses and hundreds of homes were
damaged or destroyed by flood water
or landslides. The river washed out
a large portion of interstate 40
near the Tennessee border. Numerous
other roads and highways were
damaged in places, including
highways 209, 215, 19, and 276.

After many hours of moderate to
heavy rainfall, gradual rises on
creeks and streams resulted in the
second devastating flood across the
county in just 9 days. Flooding
first began around Candler, but
eventually affected every valley
community in the county. Flooding
was actually more widespread than
during the Frances flood, but was
not quite as severe. Virtually
every stream in the county flooded,
including the French Broad River.
Two males, ages 32 and 28, died in
Leicester when they attempted to
cross a flooded area in a pickup
truck. Hundreds of roads were
flooded and the bridge over highway
197 in Barnardsville was washed out.
The French Broad flooded the studios
and other businesses in the River
District in downtown Asheville. At
Enka, a motel was flooded, which
necessitated the rescue of 40
people. Numerous homes were
destroyed or severely damaged by
flood water or landslides.

culminated in flooding across the
county by midnight. The first streams
to flood were Spring Creek in Hot
Springs and Big Pine Creek west of
Marshall. By sunrise on the 17th,
virtually every stream in the county
had flooded. Flooding was quite
severe, as most stream levels
exceeded those of recent memory.
Southwest of Marshall, 4 feet of
water from Sandymush Creek entered
the basement of a home located 100
feet north and 10 feet above the
upper banks of the creek. Long-time
residents described the flooding as
the worst in at least 25 years.

Hurricane Ivan moved steadily northward
across the north central Gulf of Mexico
on September 15th before turning north-
northeast and making landfall near Gulf
Shores, Alabama as a Category 3 hurri-
cane during the early morning of
September 16th.
Hurricane force winds affected the
lower portion of Plaquemines Parish.
The highest sustained wind recorded in
southeast Louisiana was at the NOAA
automated weather station at the South-
west Pass of the Mississippi River with
sustained winds of 72 knots (83 mph)
and gusts to 87 knot (100 mph) The
weather instruments are located at
approximately 100 ft above the sea
surface. Wind gusts of around 60 knot
(69 mph) were recorded at an automated
weather station along the coast near
Point a-la Hache. Outside of the lower
Plaquemines Parish area, tropical storm
force winds were recorded from coastal
Terrebonne Parish northeast through the
New Orleans area to eastern St. Tammany
Parish. The lowest barometric pressure
recorded was 983.6 mb at the Southwest
Pass automated weather station.
Lower portions of Plaquemines Parish
suffered the greatest wind damage.
Several school buildings suffered roof
damage as well as several public
government buildings. Around 100 mobile
homes had some type of wind damage,
with approximately 30 mobile homes
having major damage or were destroyed.
Seven houses suffered major wind
damage. 50 power poles were also downed
by high winds. In lower St. Bernard
parish about a dozen houses had some
type of wind damage. In other areas of
southeast Louisiana, generally only
minor wind damage was reported with
power outages. At least 55, 000
customers of the local electric power
company experience power outages.
The highest storm surge was confined
mostly to areas east of the Mississippi
River where storm surge averaged 3 to 5
feet above normal except locally higher
in some inlets. The highest storm surge
reading was 7.6 feet NGVD at Bayou
Dupre in St. Bernard Parish. The storm
surge flooded low lying property and
roadways outside of the hurricane pro-
tection levees in Orleans, St. Bernard
and Plaquemines Parishes. Around Lake
Pontchartrain and west of the Missi-
ssippi River, storm surge was 2 to 4
feet above normal.
No tornadoes were reported in southeast
Louisiana and storm total rainfall was
fairly light. The greatest storm rain-
fall total was 2.5 inches at Buras in
Plaquemine Parish.
Due to the threat posed by the powerful
hurricane, many area residents
evacuated the New Orleans metropolitan
area at the urging of local emergency
management officials. State Police
estimated that approximately 600,000
people evacuated from southeast
Louisiana including the the New Orleans
metro area prior to the hurricane.
Another 400,000 other coastal residents
from Florida, Alabama and Mississippi
moved through the area as they evacua-
ted to the west, away from the expected
landfall of hurricane Ivan. In an area
west of Kenner, eastbound lanes of
Interstate Highway 10 were reversed to
handle west bound traffic. Traffic jams
developed during the evacuation process
due to the large number of evacuees.
There were no direct fatalities related
to Hurricane Ivan, however four elderly
residents of southeast Louisiana died
during the large scale evacuation in
southeast Louisiana.
The Louisiana Dept of Insurance estima-
ted that insured property damage was
approximately $7.9 million. In a manner
utilized by the National Hurricane
Center for estimating storm damage, the
insured damage estimate was doubled to
arrive at total dollar damage of $15.8
million. Approximately 75% of the
damage was estimated to be related to
wind--$11.8 million. Approximately 25%
of the storm damage was estimated to be
related to storm surge--$4.0 million.

The remnant circulation of Hurricane
Ivan moved back into the Gulf of Mexico
and regenerated into a tropical storm
late on September 22nd. The weak tropi-
cal storm moved west to northwest and
passed south of the southeast Louisiana
coast before making landfall late on
September 23rd near the Louisiana-Texas
border. Weather impacts on the coast
were generally minimal. A few wind
gusts to tropical storm strength occur-
red on the coast. The highest wind gust
reported was 42 kt (48 mph) at the
automated NOAA weather station at the
Southwest Pass of the Mississippi
River. The weather station is located
about 100 feet above the sea surface. A
peak gust of 33 knot (38 mph) was
recorded at an automated weather
station in Tambour Bay of Terrebonne
Parish. Minimum pressure was 1012.2 mb
at Tambour Bay.
Storm surge was generally 2 to 3 feet
above normal. The highest storm surge
reading was 3.38 ft NGVD at Caillou Bay
southwest of Cocodrie in Terrebonne
Parish. A few roads and some low lying
property were flooded from Grand Isle
west to the lower portions of Terre-
bonne Parishes.
Total storm damage was estimated at $15
thousand dollars or less, mainly from
minor coastal flooding.

The remnants of Hurricane Ivan moved
across the region during September 17th
and 18th, dropping anywhere from three
to locally in excess of six inches of
rain in many locations across Eastern
New York and adjacent Western New
England. Hardenburg, in Ulster County,
unofficially reported the most with
7.50" of rainfall during the two day
event. The heavy rains combined with an
unusually saturated ground and a high
water table from previous heavy rains,
produced significant runoff and
resultant flooding across the region.
The majority of flood damage sustained
from the heavy rainfall was confined to
roadways, with many roads, bridges and
culverts being washed out by
floodwaters. Landslides and serious
erosion occurred in the Town of
Hardenburg in Ulster County as the
Esopus Creek overflowed its banks.
Ulster County was especially hard hit
as the Emergency Management Official
for that county has estimated up to 2
Million dollars of damage to
infrastructure, while little if any
personal property damage was noted.
That county has been declared eligible
for aid through FEMA. Personal damage,
estimated at nearly half a million
dollars was noted in Schoharie County.
Additional damage occurred to several
docks and boats moored along Catskill
Creek and the Mohawk River. Low-lying
portions of mobile home parks in the
Village of Ravena were also evacuated
due to flooding during this event.
While power was temporarily shut off
and some telephone service was

Climatology Office--DNR Waters.
Five to 13 inches of rain fell across
South Central Minnesota between 5 PM on
the 14th and 5 AM on the 15th. This
amount of rainfall caused widespread
major flooding in Freeborn, Steele,
Faribault, and Martin counties. Over $6
million dollars in property damage and
nearly $22 million dollars in crop
damage were attributed to high water in
these counties. Areas of minor flooding
were also reported in southern Waseca
and Goodhue counties.
In Freeborn County $2.1 million in
property damage was reported. FEMA
reported 1 home was destroyed by flood
waters, major flood damage to 13 homes,
minor damage to 84 homes, and 292 homes
affected by flood waters across the
county. The hardest hit areas were
Albert Lea, Hollandale, Riceland
Township, and Shell Rock Township where
numerous county roads, fields,
waterways, and low lying areas were
underwater for up to 4 days. Road crews
had to repair several road washouts
after flood waters subsided.
Significant flooding was reported on
the Shell Rock River and Turtle Creek
in addition to Fountain Lake and Albert
Lea Lake. An earthen dam had to be
built around the village of Hollandale
to save the community from Turtle
Creek's flood waters. Two thirds of
the homes in town sustained flood
damage. Water ran over the top of the
Geneva Lake Dam, flooding potato,
onion, and carrot fields. Crop losses
in this area totaled $4 million. In
Albert Lea the following roads were
closed by flooding: Front Street, East
and West Main, and Highway 65. In
Alden, Morin Lake overflowed and street
and basement flooding was reported.
Interstate 90 was closed for several
hours due to high water near Alden.
Highway 251 was closed in Maple Island.

In Steele County rainfall amounts of 6
to 13 inches led to "unprecedented
flooding". A total of $2.8 million in
property damage was recorded ($1.4
million home damage, $70,000 business
damage, $1.35 million infrastructure
damage). Much of the damage was caused
by major flooding along the Straight
River and Turtle Creek across the
southern portion of the county. The
cities of Blooming Prairie and
Ellendale were hardest hit. County
officials reported major flood damage
to 30 homes, minor damage to 400
homes, and 431 homes affected by flood
waters. In addition 4 county businesses
sustained major flood damage, 4
businesses reported minor damage, and 8
businesses were affected by flood
waters. Twenty-four people in the
county had to be rescued from flood
waters. Numerous roads, waterways, and
low lying areas were under water for up
to 5 days. At one time up to 75% of
county roads were closed by high water.
After the water receded significant
damage to roads, ditches, and bridges
was apparent. Blooming Prairie High
School and Elementary School were
closed due to flood damage. The
Straight River crested in Blooming
Prairie on the 18th and remained out of
its banks through the 19th. County road
212 was under water in town when the
river crested. Several parks along the
Straight River and its tributaries in
Ellendale, Blooming Prairie, and
Owatonna sustained severe water damage.
In an effort to save homes on the west
side of Blue Earth, volunteers
sandbagged along the river. In
Owatonna, a campground along the river
had to be evacuated and nearby Lake
Kohlmier was flooded. Near Ellendale
the Straight River flooded several
farms along Highway 30. A group home
along Turtle Creek in Owatonna had to
be evacuated after the river spilled
into the facility. Overflow from Maple
Creek also caused major park damage.
Countywide 20% of soybean and corn
crops and 10% of sweet corn crops were
lost to flooding, which resulted in
$10.4 million in losses.
In Faribault County $1.2 million in
property damage was reported. FEMA
reported major flood damage to 15
homes, minor damage to 29 homes, and
272 homes affected by flood waters
across the county. Numerous roadways

reported in Winnebago and Minnesota
Lake. In Kiester a school was flooded
and phone service was out in some areas
for up to a week. In Bricelyn nearly
40% of homes were damaged by flood
waters. In Blue Earth the Blue Earth
River flowed into at least 2 homes and
flooded numerous basements, roads, and
parks. The city sustained nearly
$35,000 in infrastructure damage, even
after sandbagging along the river. The
flooding finally began to subside on
the 17th. Countywide 10% of soybean
crops were lost to flooding, which
resulted in $3.5 million in losses.
Rainfall totals included 10.20 inches
in Bricelyn, 10.08 inches south of
Walters, 6.73 inches in Wells, 5.00
inches in Blue Earth, and 4.86 inches
in Winnebago.
In Martin County $570,000 in property
damage was reported ($500,000 public
property, $70,000 private property). Up
to 90 homes were affected by flooding
due to storm sewer overflow, mainly
across the southern third of the
county. Five to 7 inches of rain was
commonplace across the county with up
to 10 inches in the Ceylon and East
Chain areas. A total of 6.40 inches of
rain was recorded in Fairmont. Fairmont

over Cedar Creek in Cedar Creek Park
was washed out. In addition, the
following roads in Fairmont were closed
due to flooding: Lake Aires Road,
Winnebago Avenue, and Hall Street.
Basement and street flooding was
reported in Truman. Most of the
flooding across Martin County had
receded by the morning of the 16th.
Countywide 10% of soybean crops were
lost to flooding, which resulted in
$3.7 million in losses.
In Waseca County 3.54 inches of rain
was recorded in Waseca. Up to 6 inches
of rain flooded roads in the southern
portion of the county. In Janesville
roads and basements were flooded.
Basement flooding was also reported in
New Richland and Waseca.
In Goodhue County 3.92 inches of rain
was recorded in Zumbrota and 5 inches
of rain was estimated in Pine Island.
The Middle Fork and the North Branch of

banks. The rivers crested in Pine
Island during the afternoon of the 15th
and fell below flood stage that
evening. Pine Island Golf Course was
flooded in addition to County Road 24
and 275th Avenue.

After a relatively dry start to the
month, a potent late summer storm
system brought very heavy rain to parts
of southeast Minnesota and northeast
Iowa on September 14 and September 15.
Rain was most intense from near Mason
City, Iowa through the Austin area
(Mower County) to near Rochester
(Olmsted County). There were many areas
that had over 4 inches of rain, with
isolated higher amounts. In fact, the
highest unofficial totals were in the
Blooming Prairie area (Dodge County)
with 11.50 inches and 13.00 inches
reported.
Flash flooding was the initial problem,
but as all the rain drained into river
basins, many of the regional rivers and
creeks saw dramatic rises during the
overnight hours of September 14 and
into the morning of September 15. The
Austin area saw very high to record
crest levels on the Cedar River and
creeks leading into it. For example,
Turtle Creek at Austin had a record
setting crest of 14.77 feet, while a
record setting crest of 23.44 feet was
established on the Cedar River at
Lansing (Mower County). Other rivers
affected included the Zumbro and Root,
however flooding was not near as
significant in these locations. Mower,
Dodge and Olmsted counties were
declared federal disaster areas.
Hardest hit was the Austin area, where
flooding affected parts of the city and
widespread sand bagging efforts took
place. There were 350 homes in Mower
County, which received flood damage,
including 300 homes in Austin alone. A
20 year old man died on his way to
work, when he walked into high water
and was swept away. A 53 year old man
also died of a heart attack, while
assisting with sand bagging efforts.

Hurricane Ivan made landfall at 2:02
AM, September 16, near Gulf Shores,
Alabama as a upper Category 3
hurricane. The western side of Ivan
effected a large portion of Eastern
Mississippi as the center moved north
through Alabama. Thousands of trees
were blown down across Eastern
Mississippi during the event as well as
hundreds of power lines. The strong
wind itself did not cause much
structural damage, however the fallen
trees did. These downed trees accounted
for several hundred homes, mobile homes
and businesses to be damaged or
destroyed. Most locations across
Eastern Mississippi reported sustained
winds between 30 and 40 mph with
Tropical Storm force gusts between 48
and 54 mph. The strongest reported
winds occurred in Newton, Lauderdale
and Oktibbeha counties. A Mississippi
mesonet site, in Newton, reported
maximum sustained winds of 42 mph and
peak gust of 54 mph. At Key Field in
Meridian, maximum sustained winds were
reported at 43 mph with a peak gust of
61 mph. The highest sustained and peak
wind occurred at the Mississippi State
Climate Lab in Starkville. This site
reported maximum sustained winds of 52
mph and a peak gust of 64 mph.
Overall, rainfall totals were held in
check as Ivan steadily moved north. The
heaviest rains were confined to far
Eastern Mississippi where 3 to 4 inches
fell over a 15 hour period. Due to the
duration of the rain no flooding was
reported.
Across Eastern Mississippi, Hurricane
Ivan was responsible for one fatality.
This fatality occurred in Brooksville
when a tree fell on a man. Damage from
Ivan was estimated at $200 Million.

Hurricane Ivan moved steadily
northward across the the
north-central Gulf of Mexico on
September 15th before turning
north-northeast and making landfall
near Gulf Shores, Alabama as a
Category 3 hurricane during the
early morning of September 16th.
Hurricane Ivan made landfall far
enough to the east of the Mississippi
Coast to minimize the damage to the
coastal counties, however hurricane
force winds did affect Jackson
County. An anemometer on top of the
Emergency Operation Center in
downtown Pascagoula recorded a wind
gust to 76 knots (88 mph) as the eye
of the hurricane passed to the east
of area. Tropical storm force winds
occurred over Harrison and Hancock
Counties with wind gusts approaching
hurricane force in the coastal
waters. A wind gust of 68 knots (78
mph) was recorded by an automated
wind gage at Pointe Cadet in Biloxi
Harbor, and 53 knot (61 mph) wind
gust was recorded at the Emergency
Operations Center in Waveland.
Jackson County experienced the
greatest amount of damage among
coastal counties. A roof was blown
off of an apartment building in
Pascagoula and at least a dozen homes
suffered major damage either from
wind or from fallen trees. Around 100
homes had some type of wind damage,
along with 30 mobile homes and 25
businesses. Trees and large tree
limbs were toppled in many areas
contributing to power outages in
Jackson County. Wind damage was much
less over Harrison, Hancock, and
Pearl River counties. There were
scattered reports of fallen trees
and tree limbs, downing power lines
and causing damage to some houses.
The lowest pressure recorded along
the Mississippi Coast was 975.6 mb
at 2336 CST on September 15th at the
Pascagoula Airport. However power to
the weather instrument failed
shortly after this reading and a
lower reading is highly likely. At
Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi,
the lowest pressure of 982.9 mb
occurred at 0055 CST September 16th.
Storm surge was generally 3 to 5
feet above normal along the coast.
The highest storm surge recorded
was at the mouth of the Pascagoula
River near Pascagoula with a storm
surge 6.72 ft NGVD. Some tidal
surge flooding occurred in low
lying areas near the coast.
No tornadoes were reported. Storm
total rainfall varied from an inch
or less in Hancock County to around
6 inches in eastern Jackson County.
The highest rainfall total was
6.29 inches at the Pascagoula
Emergency Operations Center.
No direct injuries or fatalities
were noted in coastal Mississippi.
Total storm damage was estimated
at around 10 million dollars with
approximately 80 percent of the
damage due to wind ($6.7 million)
and 20 percent ($ 2.3 million) due
to storm surge damage.

Please see the detailed narrative
on Hurricane Ivan under Alabama,
Southwest, September 13-16, 2004.
Hurricane force winds, primarily
in gusts, occurred over most
interior portions of southeast
Mississippi during the late evening
hours of September 15th and the
very early morning hours of
September 16th. Duration of the
winds producing hurricane force
gusts was around two hours. These
strong winds downed some trees
across the region, some of which
fell onto structures which were
damaged as a result. Although Ivan
did produce wind damage across
southeast Mississippi, this damage
was neither as widespread nor as
severe as was the wind damage over
much of southwest Alabama and the
western Florida panhandle.
