The remnants of Hurricane Juan, a slow-moving upper level trough moving eastward over the Ohio Valley, a high-pressure ridge over the eastern seaboard, and a low level jet stream carrying large quantities of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico combined to form the storm. Rainfall amounts ranged from 12 to 20 inches. Some flood peaks were the greatest ever recorded. Nine thousand homes were destroyed or severely damaged.
