| episode_narrative | March 2001 was one of the wettest March's on record for north and central Georgia. In the case of Columbus, it was the wettest month in history. Frequent heavy rain and thunderstorm events occurred during the month as a very active southern jet stream remained in place. Columbus received 13.30 inches of rain during the month, exceeding the previous record of 12.53 which occurred in 1952 and exceeding the normal rainfall for March by 7.53 inches. This also made it the wettest month ever recorded in Columbus since records had been started in 1946. Just on March 3rd alone, Columbus recorded 4.40 inches of rain. A similar story was repeated across the remainder of the state. Atlanta had 9.07 inches of rain, which was 3.30 inches above normal, Athens had 8.53 inches of rain, which was 3.07 inches above normal, and Macon recorded 9.83 inches of rain, which was 5.04 inches above normal. |
