| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | During the three day period of September 21-23, 2008, parts of the U.S. Virgin Islands suffered urban flooding. The heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding were a direct result of a large tropical disturbance that moved slowly west across the area. On occasion, tropical disturbances may develop into tropical depressions and, upon further intensification, get named by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) as a tropical storm and/or hurricane. While the National Weather Service (NWS) in San Juan and the NHC closely monitored the system for possible organization into a named storm, multiple reconnaissance flights flown through the disturbance revealed no closed, low-level, surface circulation, which was needed to satisfy the definition of a tropical depression. It was not until 5 pm Thursday, September 25, 2008 when the system, located about 380 miles north northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico, was named Tropical Storm Kyle. The effects of the tropical disturbance were first felt in the U.S. Virgin Islands on Saturday, September 20, 2008. Widespread flooding and a number of rock slides were reported across the territory from Sunday through Monday. Non official rainfall totals from Saturday to Monday ranged from 4-6 inches on sections of Saint Croix to just over 4 on Saint Thomas. The rains washed out some roads across the territory, and some trees were uprooted. Some rock slides were reported on Saint John and Saint Thomas. |

Some vehicles were disabled as they tried to cross flooded areas. |
