Rainfall totals exceeding 14 inches were measured. Widespread\nmajor flooding occurred throughout the area with near record crests at many\nlocations. Eight deaths were attributed to the storm and damage estimates have\nexceeded $200 million.\nAn examination of NWS activities during this event has resulted in the general\nconclusion that the public was well served. All four states were well covered\nby Watches, Warnings, Statements and Forecasts throughout the event. Of course,\nthere were several locations where concern has been voiced. These locations\ninclude Williamson, West Virginia, and Hazard, Kentucky. Problems at these\nlocations have been addressed in detail in this report and are included in the\nSummary of Needs (pg.203). In total, however, when considering the magnitude\nand areal extent of this event, the forecast and warning problems were relati-\nvely few and minor.\nThe major recommendation in this report is for a quick implementation of IFLOWS\ninto the expansion counties along with the necessary resources, maintenance,\ndocumentation and training necessary to make IFLOWS truly effective at the field\nlevel. Other recommendations include updating stage/discharge relationships\nand\nforecast procedures at some locations, an effort for more training at the field\nlevel in the use of headwater advisory tables, the development of an awareness\nof the importance of updating NOAA Weather Radio with current information as\noften as possible, and of aggressively pursuing river and rainfall data in flood\nsituations.\nSection VII presents a summary of all recommendations.\ni","I. Introduction\nA major storm hit Kentucky on May 5 and 6, 1984 resulting in 8 deaths\nand damages estimated as high as $200 million. Because of the\nseriousness of the flooding and the widespread nature of the event, the\nRegional Director, Central Region, on May 10 directed that a disaster\nsurvey be conducted by Central Region NWS officials in Kentucky. On\nMay 11, after consultation with the Office of Hydrology, Eastern Region\nand Southern Region, it was decided to expand the survey to also\ninclude West Virginia, Virginia and Tennessee.\nThe team members were:\nDr. Lee Larson, CR Deputy Regional Hydrologist - Leader\nMr. Paul Dailey, CR Acting Chief, MSD - Member\nMr. Geoffrey Bonnin, CR MBRFC Senior Hydrologist - Member\nMr. Doyle Cook, ER MIC(AM), WSFO Charleston, WV - Member\nMr. Jack Bowman, SR HIC, Tulsa RFC - Member\nMr. Jim Duke, SR Aviation Services Met, MSD - Member\nThe primary purpose of the evaluation was to examine NWS activities\nrelated to this event and, where appropriate, to examine the:\nFlash Flood and Flood Warning Program\n1)\n2)\nIFLOWS System\nState and local responses to flood warnings\n3)\nThis report is a combination of three separate reports each prepared by\na separate Region. The Central Region prepared the report on Kentucky\n(pages 1 to 72), Eastern Region prepared the report on West Virginia and\nVirginia (pages 73 to 118), while the Southern Region prepared the\nreport on Tennessee (pages 119 to 160). The team would like to\nacknowledge the support and documentation provided by the various\noffices which were visited. In addition, the team appreciates the\ncontributions of Mr. Samuel K. Beckman, Satellite Field Service\nStation, NSSFC, for his contribution to Section VI (Satellite\nAnalysis), Mr. Ernest Kary for graphics support, Mr. Bob Coe for\nresearch, and Mrs. Mata Lowden for typing support.\nThe formats vary somewhat from section to the section, however, with\nlimited staff and clerical resources, it was deemed not feasible to\nredo all three reports into a single style. Basically, the sections on\nKentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and Virginia contain similar infor-\nmation; meteorological and hydrological descriptions of the events,\nsummaries of forecasts, watches and warnings, and where appropriate,\ndescription of relevant aspects such as IFLOWS (Integrated Flood\nObserving and Warnings System).\nRecommendations from all three sections have been summarized in Section\nVII, and in the Executive Summary.\nii","Index\nII.

Background and History\nKentucky is bounded on the north and west by major rivers, the Ohio and\nthe Mississippi. Significant rivers draining Kentucky itself are the\nBig Sandy, Licking, Kentucky, Salt, Green, Cumberland and Tennessee\nRivers. Mountainous terrain, particularly in eastern Kentucky, contri-\nbutes to the severity of the flooding problem in this area. Normal\nannual rainfall in Kentucky varies from 40 inches per year in north\ncentral Kentucky to 52 inches per year in south central Kentucky.\nNormal monthly precipitation totals for May range from 4 to 4.5 inches.\nKentucky and surrounding areas have a long history of severe and fre-\nquent flooding. In 1832, nearly all of Louisville was destroyed by\nfloods. Major floods occurred across Kentucky subsequently in 1872,\n1927, 1937, 1957, 1977, and 1978. In particular, the devastating flood\nof 1977 in western Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee was\nthe impetus for IFLOWS (Integrated Flood Observing and Warning System).\nThe floods of May 1984 are simply another in a long line of flooding\ndisasters to hit this area.\n2. Description of Event\nAt noon on Sunday, May 6, low pressure was centered south of the\nTexas Panhandle. A weakening warm front extended east-northeast\nout of the low through extreme southern Illinois and then east\nalong the Ohio River into Pennsylvania. A weak low was also cen-\ntered over North Dakota with a cold front to the west. A broad\nweak low pressure field existed over the central United States\nbetween these two low pressure systems.\nShowers occurred over much of Kentucky Saturday night associated\nwith the Ohio River Valley warm front. Amounts of 1/2 to 1 inch\nwere recorded in most areas with portions of western and south\ncentral Kentucky receiving 1 to 2 inches.\nBy Sunday evening the old warm front along the Ohio River had\nwashed out. A new low had developed in Missouri with a warm fron-\ntal boundary southeast through Nashville, Tennessee into South\nCarolina. The North Dakota low had moved to a point near\nInternational Falls, Minnesota and its associated cold front had\ndropped south into the Texas Pan-handle. The weak low pressure\nfield continued between the two systems.\nThe Missouri low and associated warm front moved slowly southeast\nduring the next 24 hours with the low centering over western\nTennessee and the warm front still south of Kentucky by mid-\nafternoon Monday. The northern Great Lakes low pressure system\nhad also moved east (more quickly) and by Monday afternoon the\ncold front extended from the low center in northern Lower Michigan\nsouth along a Pellston-Fort Wayne-Little Rock line.\n3","A broad area of thunderstorms and severe weather developed over\nKentucky to the north and east of the low pressure/warm frontal\ncomplex Sunday night and Monday. Sunday night locally heavy rains\nof 2 to 6 inches with 3 to 4 inches commonplace drenched Kentucky.\nHardest hit were the southern and eastern sections.\nTornado watches were in effect over Kentucky continuously from 11\na.m. Sunday until 10 p.m. Monday night. WSFO Louisville issued\na\nFlash Flood Watch for Kentucky at 5:10 a.m. Sunday morning and it\nremained in effect until Tuesday morning.\nBy Tuesday the northern frontal system caught up with the southern\nsystem and the two low pressure systems combined and moved east of\nKentucky.\nSignificant rainfall fell in Kentucky during the period May 3-9, 1984.\nUnofficial precipitation totals for this period range from 4+ inches in\nnorth central Kentucky to as much as 11 inches in south central\nKentucky, and north central Tennessee. Eastern Kentucky, probably the\nhardest hit by flooding, had rainfall amounts for this period of about\n6 inches (see isohyetal map).\nThe most significant rainfall occurred early Sunday morning, May 6th\nwith a second burst Sunday evening through early Monday morning, May\n7th. A typical example was at Jackson, Kentucky where the recording\nrain gage showed rainfall of 1.80\" from 3 to 9 a.m. on May 6th and\n2.47\" from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. on May 7th. Thirty-hundredths of an inch\nof rainfall fell later in the-day on the 7th at Jackson (5-7 p.m.) for\na 40 hour rainfall total of 4.57\" at Jackson (see attached rain gage\ncharts).\nAt Hazard, KY, rainfall charts showed 1.4 inches of rain early Friday\nmorning May 4th, 1.5 inches early Sunday morning May 6th, 3.5 inches\nSunday night May 65th and another .5 inch on Monday, May 7th for a\n4-day rainfall total of 6.9 inches (see attached charts).\nThe flooding resulting from the rainfall of May 6th and 7th was imme-\ndiate and devastating. Major flooding occured on the Big Sandy,\nLicking, Kentucky, Salt, Rolling Fork, Green, Cumberland Rivers and\ntributaries. No record crests occurred, however, most significant\nforecast points on the major rivers crested near record levels. Many\nlocations crested early on May 7th with downstream crests occurring\nthrough the next several days. Locations and crests are attached.\n4","30\n20\n5\n0","MAY 3 THRU MAY 9, 1984\n4\n3\nRAINFALL TOTALS\nKENTUCKY\n6\n3\n765\n4\n8\n5\n4\n8\nFigure 2.

Hydrologic Forecasts\nKentucky is a part of the Central Region, NWS. However, hydrologically it\nis served by the Ohio River Forecast Center (Cincinnati) of the Eastern\nRegion and the Lower Mississippi River Forecast Center (Slidell) of the\nSouthern Region. Other major agencies have significant impact on hydrologic\nactivities within the state. The Corps of Engineers has two divisions\nwithin the state, the Ohio River Division and the Lower Mississippi Division\nand four Corps Districts: Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, and Huntington.\nThe TVA, Tennessee Valley Authority, operates major reservoirs within the\nstate.\nWithin the state of Kentucky, WSFO Louisville has Hydrologic Service Area\nresponsibility for the Ohio River from its mouth to, but not including, the\nmouth of the Big Sandy River, all streams in Kentucky including the Kentucky\nside of the Mississippi (except the Big Sandy River and tributaries below\nLouisa, Kentucky, and the Tug Fork tributaries above the mouth of Levisa\nFork).\nWSFO Charleston's Hydrologic Service Area is defined as the Ohio River and\ntributaries in West Virginia below Hannibal Lock and Dam, the headwaters of\nthe Kanawha River Basin in North Carolina and Virginia and the Big Sandy\nRiver below Louisa, Kentucky, and the Tug Fork drainage (except the Levisa\nFork drainage in Kentucky).\nWSFO Louisville has county warning responsibility for roughly the western\ntwo-thirds of the state. WSO Lexington has county warning responsibility for\nthe northeast section of the state while WSO Jackson has county warning\nresponsibility for the southeast corner of the state. In addition, WSO\nCincinnati has warning responsibility for extreme northern Kentucky while\nWSO Huntington has warning responsibility for extreme northeast Kentucky\n(see map).\nThe hydrologic forecasting effort in Kentucky from May 6-12 was excellent.\nThe state was saturated with watches, warnings, statements and forecasts\nfrom May 5th on. It would have been very difficult for anyone in the area\nnot to have known that major floods were imminent.\nIn general, hydrologic numerical forecasts were extremely accurate and pro-\nvided lead times of about six hours in flashy headwater locations to 48\nhours at forecast points like Frankfort on the Kentucky. Crest forecasts\nwere made within several feet of near record crests at most locations by\nearly Monday morning, May 7th even before the rain had stopped. During this\nevent, WSFO Louisville and the WSO's at Jackson and Lexington were issuing\nflood warnings and forecasts for six major rivers covering most of the\nstate. Of course, some problems did occur, but they were minor compared to\nthe magnitude of this event.\nOn the lower Kentucky River at Frankfort, the crest forecast 48 hours in\nadvance came within one foot of the crest. It appears that Kentucky\nUtilities at Dix Dam was able to lower the crest at Frankfort by about one\nfoot by opening gages ahead of the crest and then closing to catch the peak.\n25","HTS (WSO Huntington)\nMARTIN\nPIKE\nLETCHER\nBOYD\nLAWRENCE\nJOHNSON\nFLOYD\nGREENUP\nKNOTT\nMAGOF\nELLIOTT\nHARLAN\nFile\nCARTER\nPERRY\nMORGAN\nBREATHITY\nLEBLIE\nROWAN\nCVG ( WSO Cincinnati)\nBELL\nWOLFE\nLEWES\nMEMIFEE\nOWSLEY\n(WSO Jackson)\nLEE\nCLAY\nPLEMING\nBATH\nPOWELL\nMASON\nGOMERY\nMONT\nKNOW\nESTILL\nNICHOLAS\nJACKSON\nROBERT\nBRACKEN\nLAUREL\nWHITLEY\nSON\nCLARK\nMADISON\nBOURSON\nCASTLE\nROCK\nHARMISON\nCAMP\nPENDLE-\nCHEARY\nBELL\nTOM\nFAVETTE\nMc\nPULASMA\nSCOTT\nSAMING\nJKL\nRARD\nKEN\nTON\nJES-\nGAR\nLINCOLN\nGALLATIN GRANT\nWOOD\nFORD\nKentucky County Warning Areas\nBOONE\nWAYNE\nFRANK\nCER\n(\nUN\nOWEN\nSON\nMEN\nSOYLE\nANDER-\nCASEY\nRUSSELL\n(WSO Lexington)\nWASH\nCLINTON\nWORTON\nCANBOLL\nHENAY\nSHELBY\nADAM\n)\nCUMBER\nMARION\nWSFO Louisville\nSPENCER\nTRIM\nBLE\nTAYLOR\nLAND\n.\nOLD\nHAM\nNELSON\nGREEN\nJEFFERSON\nCALFE\nLARUE\nMONADE\nMET\nBULLITY\nBARREN\nHART\nHARDIN\nLEX\nALLEN\nEDMONSON\nMEADE\nBRECKINRIDGE\n(\nWARREN\nGRAYSON\nSHIPSON\nSDF\nBUTLER\nFigure 9.\nHAN-\nCOCK\nOHIO\nLOGAN\nDAVESS\nMUHLEN.\n1000\nBERG\nLEAN\nMc\nHOPKINS\nCHRISTIAN\nHENDERSON\nWEBSTER\nIN\nCALDWELL\nONION\nTRICO\nCRITTENDEN\n( WSO Evansville\nLYON\nCALLOWAY\nLIVING\nSHALL\nSTON\nMAR.\nGRAVES\nCRACKEN\nMc\nCARLISLE\nHICKMAN\nBALLARD\nEVV\nFULTON","They were able to do this through careful coordination with the Ohio River\nForecast Center and because of the accurate river forecasts which were\navailable. The lock master at Lock and Dam #4 on the Kentucky River\n(Frankfort), Mr. Rick Parish, was very impressed and happy with the\nFrankfort forecast. Extremely accurate forecasts were also made early\nMonday morning for crests 24-36 hours later at Booneville and Heidelberg on\nthe Kentucky River.\nExcellent hydrologic forecasts were also provided in the Upper Cumberland\nRiver basin in southern Kentucky. At Pineville, an initial forecast made\nearly Monday called for 16 feet over flood stage but still below the top of\nthe flood wall. Based on this forecast, Pineville was not evacuated.\nPineville crested Monday night at midnight at 11 feet over flood stage and\nsix feet below the top of the flood wall.\nNearly everyone the survey team talked to was pleased with the service\nprovided by the National Weather Service. Mr. Thomas E. Little, Director of\nOperations, Kentucky Disaster and Emergency Services stated that he was\npleased with the watches, warnings and forecasts. Joyce Hale, Coordinator\nfor Kentucky Disaster and Emergency Services in Pikeville was also very\npleased with the warnings and forecasts provided her by the NWS. Mr. Frank\nNoble, Mayor of Jackson, KY, stated that the performance of the Jackson WSO\nduring the flood was \"excellent\" and rated a \"Big 10 on a one to ten scale.\"\nMr. Rob Sheehan, News Director of WFKY in Frankfort, wrote the Ohio River\nForecast Center thanking them \"for all the information provided during the\nweek of May 7-13.\" Mr. Gordon Nichols, Executive Assistant to Adjutant\nGeneral of the Kentucky National Guard, was quoted in the May 14 edition of\nthe Lexington Herald-Leader as saying that the flooding warning system in\nsoutheast Kentucky \"worked marvelously this time.\" The May 7th edition of\nthe same newspaper quoted a car dealer in Hazard as saying he had received\nwarnings of the flood a full day before it occurred.\nOf course, not all was perfect. There were complaints from the Mayor and\nnewspapers in Hazard, KY about a lack of service for the community, but\nMr. Maggard, a Kentucky State Representative, and Mr. Morris Morgan, the\nKentucky DES Coordinator for the area, have stated that they consider the\ncriticism not valid. A flood warning was issued for the Kentucky Basin at\n6:45 a.m. on May 7th. At 7:15 a.m., with the river at 17.8', a forecast\ncrest was issued for 27' (7' over flood stage) for the night of May 7th. At\n2:05 p.m., an updated forecast crest of 34' (14 feet over flood stage) was\nissued. The river crested at Hazard at 10 p.m. on May 7th at 32.0 feet.\nThe complaint centered on the fact that in the early afternoon of May 7th,\nthe Jackson WSO NOAA Weather Radio was still broadcasting the early a.m.\nriver forecast. The river stage at Hazard exceeded the earlier crest fore-\ncast before the broadcast was updated at 2:05 p.m. While this is unfor-\ntunate it is simply a result of limited data and staff resources at both the\nRFC and WSO. Both staffs were stretched to the limit on Monday, May 7th.\nThe fact is that Hazard was warned of a major flood early Monday morning and\nhad a crest forecast which verified within two feet of the actual crest a\nfull eight hours before it occurred.\nIt is also worthwhile to note that the survey team, while observing\nwidespread and significant flood damage, did notice in many locations where\nadvance warnings had permitted car dealers and trailer dealers to move their\ninventory to higher ground prior to the flood thus preventing tremendous\nflood losses. This was particularly true in the Pikeville area.\n27","FORECAST TABULATIONS\nKENTUCKY RIVER\nN. Fk.

IFLOWS (Integrated Flood and Warning System)\nThe following comments were, for the most part, developed by Mr. Tim Sweeney,\nFlash Flood Hydrologist at the Ohio River Forecast Center, Mr. Joe Guinan,\nHydrologic Technician at WSFO Louisville, and Mr. Russ Durham, IFLOWS\nCoordinator from the Office of Hydrology.\nThe first major flood since the installation of IFLOWS occurred May 3-9,\n1984. Total rainfall from IFLOWS gages ranged from 3.3 inches to 7.2 inches\nduring this period. Overall, the system collected reliable data during the\nentire period and the voice component was used extensively throughout the\nperiod.\nIFLOWS rain gage reports have been used in the Ohio River Forecast Center\n(OHRFC) operations for over a year. The Service Hydrologist for Kentucky\nincludes the 24-hour rainfall from some of the IFLOWS gages in their daily\nRR n messages on AFOS. These messages, containing 24-hour rainfall amounts,\nare process by the hydrologic forecast model and eventually become an\nintegral part of the three-day stage forecasts and flash flood products\nissued by OHRFC. Since IFLOWS rain reports are updated every fifteen minu-\ntes, it is conceivable that the hydrologic forecast model could be updated\naccordingly. Unfortunately, the smallest time step possible in the present\nmodel is six hours. Perhaps in future models, the time step will be\nshorter.\nSince six-hour reports could be used at the RFC, there must be a computer to\ncomputer link to handle the massive amount of data. Manual attempts to\nhandle this amount of data become overwhelming. A possible method which\nappears feasible is to directly connect the Data General S/140 computer and\nthe IFLOWS PDP Micro 11 computer at the OHRFC. Additional hardware\n(cabling) and software for both computers are needed.\nSo far, only rainfall data are available in IFLOWS. Stream gage data in\nIFLOWS would make IFLOWS a more complete and useful system. Additional\nsoftware is needed to handle radio transmissions from stream gages.\nIFLOWS is not officially an operational system, but many offices are now\nusing IFLOWS and would not want to do without it. Several offices have\ndocumented the value of IFLOWS in their operations over the past several\nmonths. The level of technology in IFLOWS is long-overdue to the NWS hydro-\nlogy program.\nOutput of the Kentucky pilot counties Remote Radio Rain Guages (RRRG's)\nfollow. Gauge 1107 was not reporting. Gauges 1104, 1117, 1120, 1110, and\n1102 were reporting but appear to have been clogged. This number of non-\noperational gauges is on the high side for the Kentucky maintenance crew.\nNormally, the number varies from zero to four. A few other gauges reported\nlarge departures compared to surrounding sites. However, the precipitation\nwas generated by a large convective complex. Overall, enough reports were\nreceived to give a good indication of rainfall distribution across the\nsmallest headwaters. Also, the data compared very well with the network\ndata. The staffs of JKL and HTS have stated that the RRRG's did an\noutstanding job and were valuable assets in the warning process.\n47","The IFLOWS Voice Communication System helped some with the communication\nbetween Pike County and WSO Jackson. Floyd County reported that they used\nit some, but had problems due to traffic and static. Magoffin County said\nthey could hear JKL, SDF, and Frank fort but could not be heard themselves.\nThere was no response from Martin or Johnson County.\nJKL and HTS used their computers to access rainfall information. Floyd\nCounty used their computer to list emergency personnel, and Pike County\nobtained rainfall data with their computer (they were using a printer as a\nterminal as the CRT has been in Frankfort for repairs for some time).\nMagoffin County's computer was not operational. Martin County has no com-\nputer. No attempt was made to use the computer in Johnson County. The SDF\ndedicated terminal to the Frankfort computer was used to generate IFLOWS\nrainfall reports that were sent to CIN RFC. The hydro tech at SDF generated\nreports for the same time period from the Frank fort, SDF, JKL, and Pikeville\ncomputers. The report compares data bases at each of the computers. There\nwere some discrepancies in the data bases. See following attachments.\nWSO Lexington, Kentucky has no IFLOWS precipitation gauges yet in its area,\nbut the OIC stated that if the expansion counties had been up it would have\nbeen very valuable data. No rainfall reports were received from the local\nreporting networks. Bob Buntin, DES, provided river stage readings (relayed\nfrom city government) on the Red River at Clay City. (WSO Lexington,\nhowever, with the help of Joe Pay, WSFO Louisville and Tom McPhillips, RFC\nCIN provided outstanding warning service to their area of responsibility.)\nWSO Lexington currently uses the PDP 11/03 for observer listings, gauge\ninformation, general purpose word processing and local basic programming.\nThree of the 5 KY counties in the pilot project (IFLOWS) are assigned to WSO\nJKL. Gil Russell, OIC, stated that radio rain gages combined with com-\nputerized radar (D/RADEX) and observer reports from Floyd and Magoffin\nCounties provided adequate to good data for forecasts/warnings The OIC\nfelt that if the expansion counties had been operational, better warnings\nwould have been possible in several of those counties including Perry\n(Hazard). WSO Jackson uses the PDP 112/03 for local basic programs and of\ncourse for RAIN. sav to display the RRRG data.\nThe only known failure of the IFLOWS critical subsystems was a commercial\npower outage at KEWS during early Monday flooding. Prolonged use of battery\nbackup power source may have been the cause of some loss of voice and/or\ndata traffic. However, all WSO, WSFO sites should have received complete\ndata base information. The 12 county computer databases probably had\nperiods of missing data and several have no useful data due to problems\nrequiring an outside check.\nIn general, the RRRG's were extremely useful to NWS (75 to 85 percent opera-\ntional) during storm. IFLOWS Voice Coordination System was also very useful\nduring this storm. The County Computer Concept seems very suspect since\nthere was apparently only 5 - 10 percent use during this storm is estimated.\nThe IFLOWS software and communications needs refinements and documentation.\nState/county/NWS relationships and self-help concept for IFLOWS in Kentucky\nhas seen little local warning responsiblity accepted by the county or state.\nGeneral Buntin, DES, Kentucky, stated that the data (rainfall) from IFLOWS\nallowed them to take all necessary action before flooding reached major\nstages.\n48","Additional problems which were noted:\nat the EOC in Floyd County, Kentucky (Prestonburg):\nIFLOWS computer out of servic during flood. Later found to be:\n1) Too dirty to run\n2) Software diskette with fatal errors in critical\nfiles/no data stored in past 10 days.\n3) Blown fuse in disk drive\n4) Fan frozen in netcom box causing overheating of CPU.\n5) LA34 printer out.\nHowever, Floyd County received all needed data and warnings by IFLOWS\nvoice from Jackson WSO. During short period of no contact, they talked\nto Buchanan County, VA on IFLOWS voice for relay of information.\nThere is a general lack of backup software and work copies had picked up errors.\nThere is a shortage of IFLOWS backup diskettes.\nAdditional training and/or drills are required to ensure that all\nassigned personnel can utilize IFLOWS during a major flood.\nRecommendations are:\nExpedite plans to obtain the necessary hardware and software to connect\nIFLOWS and the Data General S 140 computers for transfer of hydro data.\nThe\ntransfer should be two-way so flash flood guidance products and other\nappropriate products can be sent to the state and counties.\nPrinted maps for the IFLOWS area showing rivers, gages, counties, towns,\netc., are desperately needed to help assimilate all the data.\nExpedite plans to incorporate stream gages in IFLOWS.\nContinue with the several IFLOWS application projects underway.\nSpecifically, the display of rain gage data will definitely assist any\noffice in analyzing their flood situation. The Automated Flood Advisory\nProcedure is a necessity. IFLOWS becomes more useful if a well-designed\nforecast procedure is available that uses the rainfall reports.\nExpand IFLOWS into additional counties as planned. Priority for expanding\nshould be given to those towns/counties experiencing major problems during\nthe May 3-9 flood. Hazard, KY should be one of the first areas included in\nthe expansion.\nIFLOWS RRRG's have never been tested for accuracy. Gauge number 1114\nreported approximately 20 to 30 percent less rainfall than surrounding\ngauges (possibly a hardware, terrain, or exposure problem. Gauge number\n1295 reported almost twice that of surrounding gauges. Each gauge should be\ntested for accuracy on a routine basis and documented for exposure and\nterrain.\n49","Occasionally\nAfter a gauge has been worked on, it is activated numerous times to assure\nthat the signal is getting back to Frankfort. This procedure causes rain-\nfall (usually one-half to one inch in a short time period) to show up in the\nRUN RAIN program. Ocassionally, some of the users become aware of the\nsituation, but never does the information reach all of the users. A proce-\ndure should either alter the data base or alert the user through software.\nThe communications problems have not yet been documented. Sometimes the\nvoice interferes with the data and sometimes the data interferes with the\nvoice. For a period of time during this storm, backup power was required.\nWith the system being heavily used the power drain probably produced some\nside effects. All the variables need to be measured and documented for the\nsystem.\nIf any satellite computer is unable to communicate with the Frankfort com-\nputer for more than an hour a loss of RRRG data begins at the satellite JKL\nand Pikeville showed only about 70 percent of the storm rainfall. SDF had\nall of the rainfall that occurred during the 6/10p-7/8a storm but appeared\nto miss about 10 percent of the storm about 12 hours earlier. A conver-\nsation with HTS verified that their data was good for at least the last\nseven hours of the storm that ended 7/8a.\nLack of official correspondence and documentation hinders complete use of\nIFLOWS information at many NWS offices.\nThe storm that produced the headwater flooding in the Kentucky IFLOWS coun-\nties is difficult to handle properly without present method of updating\nFlash Flood Guidance. IFLOWS offers an excellent opportunity to begin\nworking on alternate methods of handling headwaters. OHRFC has developed an\nADVIS program which now runs in some IFLOWS computers. ADVIS should be\ncarefully evaluated for future use.\n50","Rainfall Encins at 05/06/84 06:00:00 EDT, Produced at 05/06/94 06:09:48 EDT\nStart Date: 05/06 05/05 05/05 05/05\n05/04 05/04\nStart Time: 00:00 18:00 12:00 06:00\n18:00 06:00\nEnd Date: 05/05 05/06 05/05 05/05\n05/05 05/04\nLID CNTY ST Name\nEnd Time: 00:00 00:00 18:00 12:00 Total 06:00 18:00\n1103 FLOY KY DAVID\n0.79 0.04\n0\n0\n0.83\no\n0.28\n1104 FLOY KY MELVIN\n0.51 0.04\no\n0\n0.55\no\n)\n1105 FLOY KY LEFT BEAVER\n0.47 0.04\no\n0\n0.51\n0\n0.35\n106 FLOY KY STANVILLE\n0.35 0.04\nO\n0\n0.43\no\n0.16\n1107 FLOY KY MUD CREEK\no\n-\n-\n-\n-\n-\n1108 FLOY KY RIGHT BEAVER\n0.47\n0.04\nO\n0\n0.51\n0\n0.31\n.109 FLOY KY DEWEY LAKE\n0.63\n0.04\n0\nO\n0.67\n0\n0.28\n111G JOHN KY LEANDER\n0.28\n0.04\no\n0\n0.31\n0\n0.31\n1117 JOHN KY FLAT GAP\n0.13\n0\no\n0\n0.16\nO\n0.39\n1118 JOHN KY PAINTSVILLE RAD\n0.28\n0.04\nO\n0\n0.31\n0\n0.31\n1.19 JOHN KY PAINTSVILLE DAM\n0.24\no\n0\n0\n0.24\no\n0.31\n1120 JOHN KY LINDY BRANCH\nO\n0\n()\n0\n-\n-\n0\n1121 JOHN KY OAK LOG\n0.28\n0.04\n0\n0\n0.31\no\n0.31\n1110 MGFN KY FALCON\no\n0.04\n0\n0\n0.04\no\n0.35\n1111 MGFN KY TRACE MOUNTAIN\n0.16\nO\n0\n0\n0.16\n0.04\n0.43\n1112 MGFN KY LITTLE HALF MTN\n0.39\n0\n0\n0\n0.39\n0\n0.35\n1113 MGFN KY ELK KNOB\n0.28\n0.04\no\n0\n0.31\n0\n0.35\n1114 MGFN KY SIGNAL KNOB\n0.47\n0.04\nO\n0.04\n0.55\n0\n0.31\n1115 MGFN KY FLAT FORK\n0.13\n0.04\n0\n0\n0.20\n0\n0.39\n1122 MGFN KY BACK BRANCH\n0.28\n0.04\nO\nO\n0.31\n0\n0.24\n1292 MART KY SPRING KNOB\n0.24\n0\n0\n0\n0.24\no\n0.31\n1293 MART KY INEZ\n0.24\no\no\nO\n0.24\n0\n0.35\n1294 MART KY LAUREL FORK\n0.31\no\no\n0\n0.31\n0.04\n0.12\n1295 MART KY MOUNT STERLING\n0.67\n0.04\no\n0\n0.71\n0\n0.43\n1296 MART KY BUFFALO HORN\n0.16\n0\no\n0\n0.16\nO\n0.28\n1034 PIKE KY FLATWOODS\n0.20\n0.04\n0\n0\n0.24\n0.04\n0.24\n1035 PIKE KY CARD KNOB\n0.31\n0\n0.04\no\n0.35\n0\n0.63\n1036 PIKE KY MARROWBONE\n0.39\n0\n0.04\no\n0.43\n0\n0.71\n1101 PIKE KY JOHN'S PEAK\n0.51\n0.04\n0\no\n0.55\no\n0.39\n1102 PIKE KY GULNARE\no\n0\no\no\n0\n0\n1297 PIKE KY CANADA KNOB\n0.51\no\n0.04\no\n0.55\n0\n0.35\n1298 PIKE KY DICKS KNOB\n0.39\n0.04\n0\n0\n0.43\n0\n0.08\n1037 BUCH VA BALDWIN MOUNTAIN\n0.12\n0.04\no\nO\n0.16\n0\n0.51\n1038 BUCH VA LEEMASTER\n0.16\no\no\n0\n0.16\n0\n0.43\n1039 BUCH VA KEEN MOUNTAIN\n0.24\n0.04\no\n0\n0.28\n0.04\n0.91\n1040 BUCH VA CHICKEN RIDGE\n0.20\n0.04\no\n0\n0.24\n0.04\n0.71\n1041 BUCH VA COMPTON MOUNTAIN\n0.20\n0.04\n0\no\n0.24\no\n0.63\n1042 BUCH VA HOME CREEK\n0.04\no\no\n0.04\n0.08\n0.71\n-\n1043 BUCH VA BIG ROCK\n0.24 0.04\no\no\n0.28\nO\n0.43\n1044 BUCH VA GRUNDY AIRPORT\n0.20 0.08\n0\n0\n0.28\no\no\n1278 BUCH VA COON BRANCH\no\n-\n-\n-\n-\n-\n-\n1279 BUCH VA HURLEY\n0.31\n0.04\n0\nO\n0.35\n0\n0.35\n1045 DICK VA SANDY RIDGE\no\n0\n0\no\n0.03\n0.20\n-\n1046 DICK VA FLAT SPUR\n0.24\nO\n0.04\n0\n0.28\n0\n0.16\n1047 DICK VA DUTY KN02\n0.20\nO\no\n) 0.20\n0\n0.3:\n1048 DICK VA NEALY RIDGE\n0.20\n0.04\n0\nJ 0.24\n0\n0.20\n1045 DICK VA BREAKS PARK\n0.20\n0\n0.04\n0 0.2:\ni\n0.51\n1050 DICK VA BIRCH GAP\n0.31\n0.04\n0\n0 0.35\n0.04\n0.38\n1051 DICK VA GEORGES FORK GAP\n0.24\n0.04\nis\n0 0.28\no\n0.31\n1052 WISE VA POUND 3AP\n0.55\no\no\nO 0.55\n0\n0.31\n1053 WISE VA INDIAN GAP\n0.43\n0.04\n0\n0 0.47\n0\n0.28\n1054 WISE VA SANDY RIDGE\n0.04\n0 0.04\n0\n0\n-\n.056 WISE VA BLACK MOUNTAIN\n0.04\n0.04\n0.04\no 0.12\n0 0.16\n1057 WISE VA POWELL MOUNTAIN\nO\n-\n-\n-\n-\n-\n-\n1058 WISE VA DIVIDE RIDGE\n0.28\no\n0.04\no\n0.31\nO 0.24\n1060 WISE VA FOX GAP\n0\n-\n-\n-\n-\n-\n-\n1061 WISE VA HALL HOLLOW\n0.04\n0\no\n0\n0.04\n0 0.16\n1266 MDOW WV BISHOP\n0.08\n0\no\no\n0.08\n0 0.39\n1268 MDOW WV ASHLAND\n0.04\n0.08\no\n0.04\n0.16\no 0.04\n1269 MDOW WV SANDLICK CREEK\no\n0\nO\n0\no\no\n-\n1271 MDOW WV PEAPATCH\no\n-\n-\n=\n-\n-\n-\n1272 MOOW WV OLGA #2 LOOKOUT\n0.24\n0.04\n0.04\n0\n0.31\n0\n0.55\n1275 MBOW WV JACKSON FLATS\no\n-\n-\n-\n-\n-\n-\n1276 MDOW WV OLGA #3 LOOKOUT\n0.31\n0.04\no\n0\n0.35\n0 0.59\n1285 MING WY RED JACKET\n0.24\n0.08\no\n0\n0.31\no\n0.51\n1286 MING WV PICKERING KNOB\n0.35\nO\nO\n0\n0.35\n0.04\n0.39\n1287 MING WY TRACE FORK\n0.28\n0.04\no\no\n0.31\n0\n0.39\n1288 MING WV SANDY GAP\n0.20\n0.04\no\n0\n0.24\n0\n0.51\n1289 MING WV HORSEPEN MTN\n0.28\n0\n0\no\n0.28\n0\n0.59\n1290 MING WV MILLSTONE\n0.12\n0\nO\n0 0.12\n0\n0.43\n1390 MING WV BUFFALO MOUNTAIN\n0.59\n0\n0\n0\n0.59\n0 0.43\nOutput Device/File [Terminal]: Network Status Produced at 05/06/84 06:13:28 EDT\nLast Cold Start at 04/30/84 08:10:49 EDT\nLast warm Start at 04/20/84 08:10:49 EDT\n51","ashift\nrain v2.4a: start at 05/07/84 06:10:02 EDT\n>>RainFall Ending at 05/07/84 06:00:00 EDT.

Radar - Kentucky, May 6-7, 1984\nParts of southeast Kentucky are covered by network radars at WSO Nashville\nand WSO Bristol and by Local Warning radars at WSFO Louisville, WSO Jackson,\nWSO Beckley and WSFO Charleston.\nOn May 7th approximately 1:00 a.m. EDT, WSFO SDF received a call from the\nNashville radar. The observer stated that radar had indicated that several\nstorms over south central Kentucky had been producing heavy rains for the\nprevious two hours and that all indications were that flooding was possible\nin that area. After receiving the report, SDF called WSO Jackson because\nSDF radar was misleading due to severe weather in the area. JKL radar indi-\ncated rainfall amounts were anywhere from 1/2 of an inch to an inch within the\nprevious hour.\nThe OIC at WSO Jackson has stated that:\nThe WSR 74S and RADAPII proved to be an invaluable and otherwise\nunavailable source of information during this major flood. Numerous\nlives and thousands (perhaps millions) of dollars worth of property were\nundoubtedly saved by early warnings and advisories based on Radar\ninformation.\nThe Radar/RADAPII was the source of information for the many statements\nissued by this offices. In numerous instances we were able to identify\npotential severe weather/heavy rainfall from Radar in time to issue\nadvance warning. In other instances, we were able to verify reported\nsevere weather and provide warning to areas in the path of the storm.\nRADAPII also provided valuable information at more frequent intervals\nand in more detail than could possibly have been obtained manually.\nRADAPII could provide this information quickly and relatively inexpen-\nsively to non-radar offices such WSO LEX and WSO HTS.

Several severe watches\nwere issued within 100 miles of Lexington.\nEarly in the morning of May 7, 1984 it was recognized that preliminary stage\nforecasts out of WSFO Louisville might miss. This was based on guessed\nrainfall amounts around the area in the 1 to 3 inch range nearly matching\nguidance for 3 hour flooding. Clay City was the target as stage readings\nwere obtained from there and were rapidly nearing the WSFO forecast. WSO\nLexington flood schemes also indicated problems if heavy rains continued.\nAt about 215 AM a call was placed to the WSFO Louisville recommending that\nthe hydrologist be notified and brought in along with the RFC Cincinnati. That\nsuggestion was acted upon shortly thereafter.\nThere were 110 rainfall reports called in to the WSO Lexington during the period\nand Kentucky State Police Posts were relied upon for storm and flooding information.\nThey were most helpful and statements and warnings were issued accordingly.\nThe HAM spotter network was set up early in the evening, and secured about\n2\nhours later. There was no sèvere weather reported as the main storm area\nshifted south and southeast. With coordination through WSFO Louisville it was\nexpected that the storms would again shift to the north acrosss the Central\nBlue Grass Region. It was the continued movement of locally heavy storms down\nthe basin that was mostly responsible for the initial flooding of the Central\nKentucky area. It also happened that it was a weekend, after-hours, with\noffices closed, personnel shortages, little spotter input, very wet ground\nfrom previous rains,\nMany of WSFO Louisville's releases were sent on Lex NOAA Weather Radio as\nthaey applied to Lexington area of responsibility.\n62","DEPARTMENT\nOF\nSTATE\nU.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE\nNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\nSECURITY\nNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE\nJackson, Ky\nMay 22, 1984\nTO:\nStaff, WSQ Jackson, Ky\nGIR\nFROM:\nOIC, WSO Jackson, Ky\nSUBJECT: Flood Event of May 6-8 1984\nI want each of you to know that, in my opinion, this station performed\nmagnificently in the recent major flood event (May 6-8). I am certain that\nthis opinion is shared by the Area Manager and by our superiors in both Kansas\nCity and Washington.\nYour well written statements and advisories beginning Saturday evening May 5th,\nprovided at least 36 hours advance notice of the actual event. Your warnings, both\nsevere weather and flash flood, during the event were timely and accurate. Anyone\nthat says they didn't have sufficient advance notice of a major flood event, just\nwasn't listening or didn't believe. I gave a talk to a large group in Prestonburg\nthis past Thursday evening. One lady made a comment that just about popped the\nbuttons off my shirt. She said\" \"in Floyd county we have learned that when the Jackson\nWeather Office says it is going to happen it happens\". There is no greater form\nof flattery than a comment like this from a satisfied customer.\nVFC1\nMSD\nOf course there were some problems and complaints. They always exist and we\nCMS-\nwill have them next time. I consider the few complaints we have had as completely\nunjustified and mostly just trying to pass the buck. I have received numerous\nverbal compliments and several very complimentary letters.\nIt would be difficult, if not impossible, to single out any one individual.\nEC\nEach of you did your job and did it well. Some of us shared the long tour until\nwe were airlifted out. Some of you suffered personal financial loss while you\nwere on duty and unable to protect your property.\nThe greatest reward is in knowing that your actions undoubtedly resulted\nin numerous lives being saved. In 1939, right here in Breathitt County, 70 lives\nwere lost in a similar major flood event. In 1984, not a single life was lost in\nBreathitt County even though the population has more than doubled. The difference\nwas you weather service watches, warnings, statements and weather radio. I am\nsure that similar statistics are available for the other 16 counties in our CWA.\nXEC\nSO\nI know that you will be appropriately recognized once the necessary investigations\nIN\nSD\nare complete.

WSFO Louisville issued a Flash Flood Watch early\nSaturday which was to remain in effect through Monday night.\nOur problems began Sunday morning. Moderate to heavy rain had been\nfalling over Martin and Johnson counties most of the night with\nIFLOWS indicating rainfall rates near 1/2 inch per hour in some spots.\nAt about 7:30 AM we contacted O.E.S. directors in Johnson and\nMartin counties to let them know what seemed to be going on and try\nto get some feedback. We then called in a HAM volunteer for the\nfirst time. to see how that system would work.\nThe HAM people in eastern Kentucky responded well in spite of\nthe lack of a formal plan and we soon had several rainfall reports from\nElliot, Carter and Lawrence counties. We also had responses\nfrom our O.E.S. contacts that water was over the roads in places in\nsome of the remote hollows.\nBased on these reports and continuing radar and IFLOWS indications\nof moderate to heavy rainfall, we issued a Small Stream Flood\nWarning under the \"FFU\" AFOS category for Johnson, Martin,\nElliot, Carter and Lawrence counties of southeast Kentucky.\nLater calls into these counties indicated small streams in the southern\nportions of Elliott, Carter and Lowrence counties and in all parts\nof Johnson and Martin counties did indeed leave their banks to\ncover roads in several places and mud slides were also reported in\nMartin county.\nThen, as rainfall diminished over the area toward noon, we let the\nwarning expire and made plans for the predicted heavy rainfall for\nSunday night and Monday morning.\nThrough the course of the day Sunday forecasts and rainfall\nguidance continued to call for renewed heavy rains over night in\nsoutheast Kentucky. Sunday evening we issued statements as showers\nand thunderstorms again moved into Johnson and Martin counties.\nThen, at 4:30 AM Monday a Tornago Watch effecting some of our\nKentucky counties was issued by SELS.\nAt 5:55 AM we issued another \"FFW\" for Johnson, Elliot and\nMartin counties us moderate to heavy precipitation convinued there\nover saturated steep terrain.\nStarting at 7:55 AM on Monday, the RFC began issuing crest\n- 1 -\n64","forecasts for the Levisa Fork and main stream of the Big Sandy\nand, as rainfall tapered off by mid-morning, our function became one\nof relaying information among local O.E.S. people. the RFC. the\nCorps of Engineers, and the local press and broadcast media. We\ncontinued to issue periodic statements on the situation through the\nevening hours on Monday, then just relayed information through the day\nTuesday.\nPERSONNEL - In spite of a 20% staff shortage, we managed to maintain\ndouble coverage (with much overtime) during this event.\nAFOS & NWR - Both performed well, except for a one hour period when\nCRW took US off line for an emergency MODIFY Monday\nmorning.\nIFLOWS - The rain gauge portion of this system was a boon to US in\nJohnson and Martin counties. The gauge data seemed quite\nrelliable and made our job easier. Unfortunately, the voice\ncommunications portion of IFLOWS was not functioning in\nJohnson county and apparently it was unmanned in Martin\ncounty during this event.\nCOORDINATION - With the exception of a few problems with stage\nforecasts on the Levisa Fork, (which may point to\nan anomaly in the hydrographic model at Prestonsberg)\nwe feel that the NWS role in this event went very\nwell.\ncc: WSFO Charleston\nEastern region NWS - W/ER2\nRFC Cincinnati, OH\n65","66","10.

Conclusions and Recommendations\nA Flash Flood Watch for the entire state of Kentucky was first issued\nby WSFO Louisville during the early morning hours on Sunday, some 18\nhours in advance of the observed event. Flash flood watches continued\nthrough the episode with emphasis on particularly threatened areas.\nTornado watches were in effect continuously for 36 hours, starting at\nnoon Sunday through late evening Monday. Aside from the routine\nweather forecasts and summaries, during the two days, May 6 and 7, 254\nspecial statements, watches, and warnings were issued over the\nKentucky Weather Wire, an average of 5 (five) special weather/flood-\nrelated statements per hour.\nThe major NWS strength in this episode was the saturation of the news\nmedia/populus with preparatory/alerting messages on the NWWS as well\nas NWR. A strong contributor to this success was the implementation\nof the NOWCAST as operated by WSFO Louisville. Since the advent of\nAFOS, the WSFO staff has issued this hourly updated Kentucky weather\nforecast/summary. Under watch/warning conditions, the hourly NOWCAST\nproduct converted over to a severe weather statement or special\nweather statement as conditions warranted.\nWSO Jackson was isolated for 24 hours and several employees' homes/\nquarters were flooded. Despite this handicap, the office stayed in\noperation, issuing 38 special weather/flood statements and 15 severe\nweather/flood warnings during this period. The level of public alert\nin southeast Kentucky was very high during the entire episode.\nRadar summaries, warnings and statements by WSO Evansville kept much\nof western Kentucky well-informed. WSO's Lexington, Kentucky, and\nHuntington, West Virginia, and WSFO Charleston, West Virginia, contri-\nbuted products for central and eastern Kentucky.\nFor the two-day period, a total of 75 severe weather/flood warnings\nand watches affecting Kentucky were sent over the NWWS and NWR.\nSome areas in need of improvement were noted:\nHeadwater advisory tables were not utilized to the maximum.\nThere were a minimal number of rainfall/river observations\nmade available in rea! time.\nIFLOWS, in a limited sense, functioned quite well. In Kentucky, of 32\nRemote Rain Gauges, 26 seemed to function well during this entire event. In\naddition, the Voice Communication System was quite helpful during the entire\nflood/severe weather event.\nThe Ohio River Forecast Center performed well during this event. Forecasts\nand contingency forecasts were prepared during the day on Sunday, May 6th.\nAfter being alerted of heavy rains in Tennessee, the RFC remained open\nthroughout Sunday night (May 6th) and issued flood forecasts for Tennessee\nat 1:15 a.m. (May 7th), for Kentucky at 3:50 a.m. and amended Kentucky fore-\ncasts at 5:25 a.m. In most cases, forecasts were reasonably accurate and\n69","provided lead times of six hours in flashy headwaters to 48 hours at\nmainstem forecast points like Frankfort. River and flood forecasts were\nprovided for about 44 locations in six major river basins from the 6th of\nMay through the 12th. Dissatisfaction by the general public of NWS perfor-\nmance was noted at just three locations.\nBased on the examination of this event in Kentucky, the following recommen-\ndations are made:\n1.\nContinue expansion of IFLOWS, as quickly as possible, into 29\nadditional counties in Kentucky.\nExpedite plans to connect IFLOWS and the S/140 computer at Ohio\n2.\nRFC for exchange of hydrologic data.\nProvide maps of IFLOWS area showing rivers, gages, counties,\n3.\ntowns, etc.\nExpedite plans to incorporate stream gages in IFLOWS.\n4.\n5.\nContinue with development of IFLOWS application projects such\nautomated flood advisory procedures.\nDevelop procedure to routinely test calibration of Remote Radio\n6.\nRain Gages.\nDevelop procedure to remove rainfall reports in IFLOWS RUN RAIN\n7.\ncaused by numerous activations of gage after it has been worked on.\nDocument problem of voice and data interference in IFLOWS\n8.\ncommunications.\nAny IFLOWS satellite computer down for more than one hour with\n9.\nFrankfort begins to show a loss of rainfall data. This problem\nshould be addressed.\n10. A general lack of correspondence and documentation is hindering\ncomplete use and acceptance of IFLOWS. Better and more ccmplete\ndocumentation should be provided.\n11. The ADVIS software, develped by Ohio RFC for IFLOWS handling of\nheadwater flooding, should be evaluated and, if appropriate,\nimplemented in the IFLOWS system.\n12. More adequate training of NWS employees be provided in the use of\nHeadwater Advisory Tables. Periodic \"practice runs\" should be\ninstituted to ensure proficiency.\n13. Nearly the entire state of Kentucky was covered by significant\nrainfall during the 6th, 7th, and 8th of May. Rainfall totals\nacross the state for that period ranged from 3 to 11 or more\ninches. It seems reasonable to assume that reporting criteria\nshould have been met during this period for nearly all reporting\nrainfall observers. The reporting efficiency of the co-op net-\n70","work, however, was 37 percent.\n5/6/84 - 35% reported\n5/7/84 - 39% reported\n5/8/84 - 36% reported\nA continued effort must be made to work with the volunteer\nobservers to ensure that when they are needed, they report.\n*14. Forecast procedure for Green River at Paradise Power Plant\nshould be modified to account for change in gage location.\n*15. More readable staff gages are required at Green River at Woodbury.\n*16. The USGS has indicated that the Hazard rating may be modified con-\nsiderably based on crest discharge measurements made during May\n3-10 rise. Stage ratings may be higher for higher flows.\n17. NOAA Weather Radio is a primary source of information for the\npublic. It should be updated with the latest information\npossible. At times, an office may have to make judgements as to\nwhat is the highest priority and what activities are lower\npriority.\nIn the case of severe flooding, the aggressive pursuit and\ndissemination of current river and rainfall data and flood fore-\ncasts on NOAA weather radio should be considered of the highest\npriority. All NWS employees in Kentucky should be reminded to\nread ROML C-25-80 in WSOM Chapter A-02.\n18. A more aggressive posture be taken in obtaining hydrologic data.\nThis would mean employees being more familiar with data sources\nand call lists and easier access to this information should be\nprovided via AFOS procedures, instruction manuals, and worksheets.\n19. An increased emphasis be placed on the IFLOWS system. Valuable\nrainfall data was not efficiently utilized because of a lack of\nunderstanding in the extraction and interpretation of data from\nthis experimental system. An upgrading in the prioritization of\nthis system by Headquarters would be reflected in an operator\nemphasis in the use of the system in the field.\n20. The WSFO should ensure forecaster/hydrologist input has been\nsatisfied prior to the issuance of RFC products on NWWS and NWR.\n*Based on a \"fact-finding\" trip in Kentucky (May 21-23) by a staff\nhydrologist from OHRFC (Wayne Heath) and the Service Hydrologist at\nWSFO Louisville (Joe Pay).\n71","72","Index\nIII.\nWest Virginia and Virginia\nPage\n1.\nLetter of Transmittal\n75\n2.\nWest Virginia Flooding\n76\n3.\nVirginia Flooding\n78\n4.\nMeteorological Description\n79\n5.\nWatches/Warnings, West Virginia\n79\n6.\nWatches/Warnings, Virginia\n80\n7.\nIFLOWS\n81\n8.\nNWS Operational Systems\n83\n9.\nNeeds\n85\n10.\nAction Items\n88\n11.\nAttachments 1-6, Surface Maps\n89\nAttachments 7-12, IFLOWS Data\n95\nAttachment 13, Locations of IFLOWS Rain\nGages\n101\nAttachment 14, Isoheytal Map\n102\nAttachment 15, Comments from WSO Bristol\n103\nAttachments 16 & 17, RADAP Chart from\nWSFO Charleston\n104\nAttachment 18, Location of NOAA Weather\nRadios\n106\n12.\nAppendix A, Chronological Listing of\nWatches/Warnings - W.

Urban drainage was unable to accomodate the rainfall in the\nRaleish Mall, Beckley, Raleigh County, and nearby roadways were flooded.\nRoadways were also flooded in Eccles, Raleigh County.\nThe Raleish County drainage problems subsided during the dry weather of Sunday\nafternoon. The next flooding was widespread small stream flooding throughout\nthe four county area of McDowell, Mingo, Wyoming and Losan counties. This\nflooding began around daybreak Monday morning, a result of the moderate to\nheavy rainfall which hit the area Sunday night and Monday morning. As this\nwidespread heavy rainfall moved into the mainstem stream beds of the Tus Fork\nand Guyandotte Rivers, a major flood began to form and move downstream.\nFlood control measures by the Corps of Engineers at R. D. Bailey Dam, on the\nGuyandotte River prevented all but minor river flooding downstream from the\ndam. However, the Tus Fork River flood reached major proportions at all\npoints throughout its Mingo County and southern Wayne county reach Monday\nevening and Tuesday morning. At Williamson, WV this was the second highest\nflood ever recorded. Historically, only the April, 1977 flood was hisher\nat Williamson.\nOne drowning occurred in West Virginia. A couple attempted to cross the\nrisins and swift-flowing Tus Fork River in a canoe Monday morning in Mingo\nCounty. The canoe overturned and a woman was lost.

Widespread small stream flooding began\nrun\nthroughout the western counties of Virginia around daybreak Monday morning\nMay 7, 1984. As this rainfall flowed into the rivers which drain the area,\na major flood began forming on the Levisa Fork in Buchanan County, and\nthe\nRussell Fork in Dickenson County. A lesser flood moved down the Powell River\nin Wise and Lee Counties, the Clinch River in Russell and Scott Counties, and\nthe North Fork of the Holston River in Washington and Scott Counties. Flood\ncontrol measures by the Corps of Engineers at the North Fork Dam and the\nJohn W. Flanasan Dam prevented a major flood from forming on the Pound River\nin Dickenson County. However, flooding of at least moderate magnitude was\nreported downstream on all the other rivers which drain the area.\nNo drownings occurred in Virginia. Total damage in Virginia has been\nestimated by the State government at approximately $8 million.\nSpecific Crests, and the time of occurrence, on Virginia Rivers were as\nfollows.

A frontal zone oscillated back and forth through the Appa-\nlachians for a few days with daily rainfall of small to moderate amounts over\nthe area from the 3rd through the 5th. Then, on the 6th, heavier rainfall\nmoved through the area bringing most rivers UP to levels 1/2 to 3/4 bankfull\nduring the evening of the 6th. Finally, a strong storm center moved through\nthe midwest causing the heaviest rainfall of the entire incident to hit the\nAppalachians from Sunday evening May 6th through the morning hours of Monday\nMay 7th. Total rainfall over the already-soaked headwater areas in the\nVirginia-West Virginia region, during the 24 hours from 8 am Sunday to 8 am\nMonday, averased between 2 and 2.5 inches. About 3/4 of this amount fell in\nthe 12 hr period from Sunday evening through Monday morning. Attachments\n1 - 6, from the Daily Weather Map series, show the daily progress of the\nmeteorolosical systems.\nNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WATCHES/WARNINGS FOR WEST VIRGINIA\nFlood watches were issued about mid-day Sunday by WSFO Charleston for all the\nWV counties which later experienced flooding. Flood warnings were also issued\nin advance of the small stream flooding by the appropriate WSO in each case.\nRiver flood warnings were issued by WSFO Charleston, with revised crest\nforecasts near the height which actually occurred, in advance of the crest\noccurrence at each location.\nNo criticism of the NWS watches/warnings has been voiced in most of West\nVirsinia in relation to this incident. But, some concern has been voiced\nabout the stage forecasts which were issued Monday morning for the Tus Fork at\nWilliamson, WV. The forecasts for points upstream from Williamson verified\nwell. The service hydrologist at WSFO Charleston became aware that hydrologic\nguidance values were not producing accurate forecasts. He adjusted the\nvalues and produced a forecast crest of 19 to 20 ft for Iaeser which verified\nat 19.8 ft. However, the forecasts had to be revised upward late in the day\nfor Williamson and points downstream. The late afternoon forecast issued for\nWilliamson indicated a crest of 42 to 43 feet, a forecast storm-caused rise of\nabout 30 ft. The actual crest, established by post-flood USGS survey of\nhish water marks was 45.05 ft. This is an especially critical height since a\nflood wall provides protection for the city of Williamson to a height of 44\nft. About 3 ft. of water collected in downtown Williamson as a result of the\nwall overflow. Statements issued by the NWS indicated that the water level\nwas danserously close to overtopping the wall. But there was no indication to\nthe public that the flood wall would be topped until after water besan flowing\ninto the city.\nA U.S. Geological Survey Technician on the scene at 7:45 PM Monday May 7th,\nmanually read the Williamson stage to be 43.05 ft. Water was just beginning\nto flow over the flood wall. Post-flood surveys by the USGS found an area of\nthe flood wall in which the top was at a sage height of 43.2 ft. The\nWilliamson sasins equipment consists of a Corps of Engineers Leupold-Stevens\n79","telemark, with telephone provided by NWS, and a USGS Recorder. The Corps of\nEngineers also has a satellite platform with timed readout of stage at hourly\nintervals. However, the satellite data is usually not available in real-time.\nBatteries of the sagins equipment were almost drained at 5:30 PM when the USGS\ntechnician arrived on the scene. Equipment response was sluggish. The\ntechnician disconnected the sasins equipment and manually read stages for use\nby the NWS and other need-to-know agencies during the remainder of the\nemersency. The flood at Williamson was the second highest ever recorded,\nexceeding the March, 1963 flood by 0.55 ft. Historically, only the April,\n1977 flood with a crest of 52.56 ft. was higher.\nOther than the Williamson area, the hydrologic forecasts were quite acceptable\nand caused appropriate preventive measures to be taken in all parts of the\naffected West Virginia counties.\nCrest forecasts for points downstream from Williamson had to be revised\ndownward after the Williamson crest. Apparently, the Williamson rating\ntable overestimates the amount of water flowing past Williamson at high\nstages.\nAppendix A contains a chronological list of bulletins and statements issued\nto press and Emergency Service Officials in West Virginia relative to this\nincident.\nNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WATCHES/WARNINGS FOR VIRGINIA\nThe first indication of possible flooding in Virginia was contained in a\nSpecial Weather Statement and Radar Summary from WSO Bristol at 10:30 Pm\nSunday May 6, 1984. This mentioned\nheavy rains\nstrong susty winds\npossibly hail\nand minor flooding in flood prone areas\nH\nfor the area which\nlater hit with flooding. WSFO Washington amended the Southwestern VA\nwas\nZone forecast at 4:03 am, Monday including the entire area in a Flash Flood\nWatch for the following 24 hours. The Southwestern VA zone includes all the\ncounties affected by later flooding. A flash flood warning was issued by WSO\nBristol at 4:15 am Monday for Buchanan County, VA. WSO Bristol subsequently\nexpanded the area covered by the Flash Flood Warning to include: at 6:15 am,\nBuchanan and Wise counties; and at, 7:15 am, Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Scott,\nSmyth, Tazewell, Wise, and Washington counties.\nThe Meteorolosist in Charge, WSO Bristol, TN, after discussion with the\nBuchanan County Director of Emergency Services, Grundy, VA, became aware that\nthe Levisa Fork was responding with a much larser rise than that indicated by\nthe hydrologic suidance furnished by the NWS River Forecast Center. These\ntwo individuals, each with years of experience in Appalachian floods,\ndiscussed the situation and revised the suidance values to those which would\nproduce the appropriate stream response. They then agreed on a crest forecast\n\"about 12 ft. over flood stase\" which was released to local press, public and\nlocal officials by the Buchanan County Director of Emergency Services.\nApparently, the same difficulties experienced with hydrologic suidance by WSFO\nCharleston, were also experienced by Grundy and WSO Bristol. This crest\nforecast, arrived at through mutual discussion, caused the appropriate\n80","protective measures to be taken. WSO Bristol, in a Flash Flood Statement at\n9:15 am, mentioned that the river at Grundy was 6 ft. above flood stage and\nrising at 1 ft. per hour. But there was no mention of the crest to be\nexpected for the benefit and use of media outside the Grundy area.\nA River Flood Warning was issued by WSFO Washington at 11:30 am, May 7th for the river\nforecast points on the Powell, Clinch, and N. Fork Holston Rivers with crest\nforecasts less than the height which actually occured several hours later.\nIt became apparent, during the afternoon, that the river crests would be\nsignificantly hisher than forecast. WSFO Washington then issued a Flood\nWarning at 5:45 PM, with revised crest forecasts which overestimated crests\nby about the same amount as the earlier forecasts had underestimated them.\nNo criticism has been voiced of the NWS watches/warnings for Virginia.\nAlthough the late afternoon river forecasts were pessimistic, the protective\nmeasures taken were apparently appropriate for the overall situation. No one\nis unhappy that the rivers didn't rise quite as hish as forecast.\nAppendix B contains a chronological list of bulletins and statements issued\nto the press and Emergency Service Officials in Virginia relative to this\nincident.\nINTEGRATED FLOOD OBSERVING AND WARNING SYSTEM\n(IFLOWS)\nMuch of this flooding took place in the 12-county area in which IFLOWS has\nbeen installed as an interstate pilot project. As such, it was a good test of\nIFLOWS. No flash flood alarms are yet installed as a result of IFLOWS. Also,\nthe software has not yet been installed which would allow counties to forward\nor receive alpha-numeric messages (e.g. flood warnings) nor has the software\nbeen installed to allow independent river stage forecasts. But (1) radio rain\nsases are fully operational and (2) the voice communications circuit is\noperational throughout the 12-county area. In addition, (3) considerable\npreparedness activities have been carried out since IFLOWS installation was\nbesun, (4) volunteer rainfall observers have been trained and equipped in each\ncounty, and (5) minicomputers are operational to provide uP-to-the-minute\nrainfall information from the radio rain gases to each of the 12 County\nEmersency Operation Centers, to each State Office of Emergency Services, and\nto each NWS Office with responsibility in the area.\nIFLOWS provided up-to-the-minute rainfall measurements reliably throughout\nthe incident in both Virginia and West Virginia. Two KY counties missed a\nportion of the rain sage data due to temporary minicomputer problems. Also,\nSome radio rain sases have apparently become stopped UP with oak pollen. This\nhad been noticed in previous spring seasons. Thus, operations personnel were\nnot surprised when some gases save obviously erroneous reports. But there\nwere enough rain sages that, with the regular cooperative network, there were\nno post-analysis surprises from the standpoint of rainfall. Attachments\n7 - 9 are printouts of rainfall from the IFLOWS rain gases for WV, VA, and\nKY. The printouts sive the rainfall for the entire hydrologic storm from\n7 am EDT 5/2/84 to 7 am 5/9/84. The period of rainfall which produced the\n81","flood (7 am 5/5 - 10 am 5/7) is broken down into 3-hourly increments.\nAttachments 10 - 12 are hourly breakdowns of the rainfall for the last 12\nhours of rainfall (the burst of rainfall which caused the widespread small\nstream flooding and final larse river rise). Attachments 13 and 14 are maps\nof the 12-county IFLOWS pilot area showing the location of each radio rain\ngase and an isohyetal analysis of the radio rain sase rainfall supplemented\nby cooperative reports.\nVolunteer rainfall reporters helped local Emergency Officials pinpoint which\ncreeks were having the heaviest rainfall. On Island Creek, Losan County, WV\nthe only rainfall information available was from volunteers. This creek\nflooded worse than any other in Losan County.\nThe IFLOWS voice communication system operated reliably in West Virginia. It\nwas one of the backbone systems used to provide and secure information on the\nflooding in all four WV IFLOWS counties. In Virginia, there was trouble with\nthe volume fading to the point that it became unusable at Grundy. But other\ncommunication systems provided acceptable backup. A brief post-flood main-\ntenance visit by a communications technician quickly repaired the Grundy\nsystem. WSO Huntington, WV was unable to contact via the IFLOWS voice system\neither of the Kentucky counties in which they have IFLOWS responsibility. It\nwas inoperative in Johnson County and was unanswered in Martin County. Again,\nother communication systems provided acceptable backup. WSO Jackson used the\nIFLOWS voice communications system to contact the remaining KY IFLOWS counties\non a fairly continuous basis and WSO Bristol was in close contact with the\nother two VA IFLOWS counties via this system. Apparently, periodic\nmaintenance visits to the voice communications system would be of benefit.\nCounty Emersency Service Officials are unanimous in their enthusiasm for the\nIFLOWS voice system. This sives a ready means of attaining P-to-the-minute\nradar information and a method for securing professional advice regarding the\ntiming factor in Emergency Response decisions. According to John Hash,\nBuchanan County, VA, this factor alone makes IFLOWS worthwhile.\nThe preparedness activities which have been undertaken in the past few years,\nas a result of IFLOWS, paid off handsomely in this case. All twelve IFLOWS\ncounties as well as the State Offices of Emergency Services reacted in a\nrealistic fashion to the information provided. There were no false rumors and\nthe county officials in every case received information directly from the\ncounty flood warning coordinator who, in turn, was in very close contact with\nthe NWS. County officials are unanimous in their praise of the IFLOWS system.\nCounties which, historically have had little preparedness for disaster, were\nin this case well prepared and took realistic action in light 0\" the infor-\nmation and situation which were at hand. The Martin county, KY officials\nprobably reacted to warning calls from WSO Huntington with as much negativism\nas anyone. But, even in this case, preparedness was much more in evidence\nthan ever before. Prior thought had been siven to who should be warned OT\nevacuated in light of the information which was made available by the NWS.\n82","Even at Williamson, WV, where the information being provided later proved to\nbe in error, local officials took realistic action because they were prepared.\nIt became apparent to them that the NWS forecast was in error by a small\namount. Althoush the NWS had earlier said that the flood wall would not be\ntopped, this was obviously in error. They besan evacuation while, at the same\ntime, they checked with the NWS to make sure that no major error had occurred\nin the forecast of river height.\nPeople who live in the headwater resions of the small streams reacted in a\nquite realistic fashion to this flood. Due to the NWS watches, they Knew\nthat rainfall was predicted which could cause flooding. Many people stayed\nawake and monitored the situation. As part of the IFLOWS preparedness effort,\nthey had been encouraged to plan ahead for this eventuality. Thus, as the\nflooding began, these people (1) passed the word to their neighbors downstream\nand (2) began moving as much property as possible. Further downstream, on the\nrivers, massive amounts of property were moved out of the normally-occupied\nflood plain on the basis of the NWS crest forecasts and a previously\ndetermined height of the moveable property. PREPAREDNESS PAYS!\nUndoubtedly, the loss of life was minimized and a considerable savings of\nproperty can be directly attributed to the NWS and other asency efforts in\nIFLOWS. Only one of the eight Kentucky deaths took place in an IFLOWS county.\nIt is known that this individual received warning of the impending flood. The\none West Virginia death occurred in an IFLOWS county, also with knowledge that\na flood was imminent.\nInterviews with county emersency service officials indicate that IFLOWS has\ncreated a two-way working arransement which leads to realistic actions during\ntimes of flood emersency. With the present level of hydrologic technology,\nthis realistic action is apparently possible only with two-way communication\nat the time of the emergency. Some of the hydrologic suidance provided before\nthe storm, for use at the local level, became obviously outdated. It was\nnecessary to revise it at the time the emersency was developing. This could\nonly be accomplished by NWS personnel who were in close contact with local\nflood warning officials. IFLOWS is the only system available which provides\nthe personal contact between professional personnel and local Emergency\nResponse Officials as well as a high level of technology to support decisions.\nThe MIC, WSO Bristol, TN (Attachment 15) apparently expresses the sentiments\nof all NWS personnel who worked with IFLOWS in this event.\nNWS OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS\nRadar worked well throughout the incident at all NWS Offices in the area.\nMost warnings and watches were issued on the basis of information sained\nthrough a combination of systems - radar, satellite, computer model forecasts\nof rainfall, and suidance forecasts from the National Meteorolosical Center.\nThe Heavy Precipitation Branch (HPB) of NMC was quite helpful to the WSFO's\nconcerned with suidance which indicated the approximate area likely to be\naffected by each burst of rainfall. The radars at WSO Beckley and WSO\nBristol operated normally throughout the incident.\n83","The WSFO Charleston WSR-74S is now equipped with RADAP. However, the RADAP\ncomputer was down a larse amount of the time during Sunday night's rain.\nThus, the enclosed RADAP charts (Attachments 16 & 17) are incomplete regarding\nthe total rainfall for the two days in question (5/6 - 5/7 and 5/7 - 5/8)\nThe WSFO personnel were so busy they couldn't take the time to reboot RADAP\nevery few minutes. Personnel at WSFO Charleston express a hish degree of\nconfidence in the RADAP concept and are easerly waiting for the hardware\nproblems to be solved. WSFO Charleston's radar monitor is also equipped with\na heavy duty Videotape Cassette Recorder and Playback device (VCR). This,\nwith a Scott Box time-delay device, normally gives real-ti video loops of\nradar echoes every 2.5 minutes. Unfortunately, this equipment was also out of\nservice. Apparently, even a heavy duty VCR will not handle the load put on\nit by continuous operational use in an office such as Charleston. There are\nsimply too many moving parts to 90 through a complete record-rewind-replay\ncycle every 2.5 minutes. For operational systems, this needs to be a solid\nstate device with no moving parts.\nWSFO Charleston has limited satellite looping capability (8 pictures) with a\nNorthern Videographics automatic time lapse animation system. Forecasters at\nthe WSFO indicate that this was a great help in predicting the onset of each\nburst of rainfall as well as in predicting which part of the area would be\nhit before the rainfall came within radar range.\nAFOS performed reliably at all offices. The Charleston AFOS became unstable\nduring the day Sunday. The instability increased to the point that it became\nnecessary to take the Charleston system off-line for a MODIFY shortly after\nB am Monday. This stabilized its response and operation was normal throughout\nthe remainder of the incident. Numerous mesoanalyses were performed utilizing\nAFOS programs to assist in the almost continuous forecast decisions regarding\nthe intensity and location of each burst of rainfall.\nNOAA Weather Radio transmitters were installed in 1983 throughout Southern\nWest Virginia. Control consoles were recently installed at Beckley to allow\nthem to operate transmiters broadcasting to the headwater areas of the Tus\nFork and Guyandotte basins. NWR signals are now available in each of the\ncommunities flooded by this incident. This was the first experience of\noperating NWR through a major incident for the personnel of WSO Beckley.\nApparently, everything performed just the way the book says it should --\nboth equipment and personnel. Attachment 18 indicates the location and\napproximate listening area of the NWR transmitters in WV.\nThe NWR at WSO Bristol operated normally throughout the incident, broadcastins\nan area that includes all the VA counties which experienced flooding.\nto\nThe National Weather Service Eastern Region recently began using the term\n\"flood watch\" (instead of flash flood watch) for situations which are expected\nto produce widespread small stream flooding as opposed to \"wall-of-water\"\nflash floodins such as might be caused by an extremely heavy thunderstorm.\nWSFO Charleston used this new terminology in the watch phase of this event.\nBeckley and Charleston also used the new terminology for the warning phase.\nThe term \"flood Watch\" was, in some instances, rewritten by media to be a\n\"flash flood watch\". But they never changed the NWS text. Most NWS personnel\n04","feel that, with a little patience, the media will learn the difference between\na \"flash flood watch\" and a \"flood watch\" and this new product will ultimately\nserve the intended purpose quite adequately. WSFO Washington issued a \"flash\nflood watch\" and WSO Bristol issued a \"flash flood warning\" to cover events\nin Virginia which were obviously like those in West Virginia for which\ndifferent terms were being employed. It is probably to the credit of the\nmedia and public that the situation was not confused.\nThere was a strong indication in some interviews that people in the most\nseverely flooded area, when making decisions Monday morning regarding\npossible preventive measures, put too much weight on the river forecasts\nwhich were issued at that time. These forecasts were later revised but these\npeople were not aware of the revisions for some time. One person suggested\nthat, in situations like this, the first forecasts for locations downstream\nbe labeled preliminary and that a statement be included indicating a time\nby which revisions will be issued (e.g. 3 hrs. after preliminary issuance,\nafter the next rainfall reports are received, etc.\nStatewide NOAA Weather Teletype Circuits (NWWS) are operated by the NWS in\nboth Virginia and West Virginia. However, in the flooded area, less than 20\npercent of the media subscribe to NWWS. The vast majority depend on the\nAssociated Press or United Press International for relay of NWS information.\nOne local cable TV company apparently issued only portions of a flood warning\nfor Wyoming county on their TV crawl Monday evening. They evidently chose the\nmost danserous sounding cautionary statement in the warning text. This caused\na few concerned phone calls, between Wyoming County officials and the NWS,\nBut after reassurance, local Emersency Service Officials called the cable TV\nand cured the problem.\nUNMET NEEDS AND RECOMMENDATIONS\nIt became apparent during this episode that some upgrading of stream sagins\ncapability is needed in the Tus Fork Basin. It would have been quite helpful\nto have automatic stream sasing on the Tus Fork at Welch and on the Dry Fork\nat Bradshaw. Also, the Tus Fork sagins equipment at Williamson should be\nupgraded to Keep the casual user from calling it and draining the battery.\nThe NWS previously discussed part of these upgrading needs with the Corps of\nEngineers. WSFO Charleston has already reiterated these in a letter to the\nCorps. This may require some future IFLOWS assistance to Mingo and McDowell\nCounties to assure that they have the capability of interrosatins a computer-\ncompatible automatic stream sase. This matter is beins monitored by WSFO\nCharleston.\nFlash Flood Alarms, planned as part of the IFLOWS system, would have provided\nadditional credence to the early morning NWS statements on Monday May 7th.\nInstallation of at least three alarms is planned during the 1984 SUMMET for\neach of the four WV and three VA IFLOWS counties. The NWS Eastern Resion is\nmonitorins the prosress of this installation.\n85","Plans are now being carried out to expand IFLOWS from the original 12-county\nthree-state pilot project to a larger portion of Kentucky, Virginia and West\nVirsinia as well as into portions of Tennessee and Pennsylvania. No further\nexpansion is planned. NOAA plans to evaluate the system to see whether IFLOWS\nshould be recommended for other parts of the nation. Now that a significant\ntest has been accomplished for a large part of the IFLOWS concept, NOAA should\nbe encourased to present its recommendation as soon as possible.\nAccurate forecasts of river stase depend, ultimately, upon a known\nrelationship between the amount of water flowing in the stream and the height\nof the river. This relationship is monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey\nthrough periodic visits to representative river saging sites. Recent cuts\nin\noperational funds and personnel have curtailed the number of USGS visits\nfor the purpose of monitorins flow at many locations. It is easily\nconceivable that changes in the stase-flow relationship could now 90\nundetected until the time of the next major flood, at which time inaccurate\nstage forecasts would be disseminated, based on out-of-date information.\nIt was a shock to all personnel to realize that the top of the Williamson\nflood wall was not at its former height. Undoubtedly, periodic surveys\nover the past few years would have detected this settling. Asain, cuts in\nfederal operational personnel can probably be blamed.\nThe most effective disaster warning messages are known to be those which\ncontain specifics regarding the local effects of the predicted disaster. A\ncheck of NWS field office files reveals that information on the effects of\nspecific river stages is sorely outdated for most river forecast locations in\nthe flooded area. Updating this information is a labor-intensive project\nwhich has, mostly because of increasing work load and personnel shortages,\nbeen relegated to lower priority for years.\nThe Office of Management and Budset, which has mandated many of the cuts in\noperations budsets and personnel, should be made aware of the effect which\nthe cuts in NWS, USGS, and Corps are now beginning to have on disaster\npreparedness and disaster response.\n86","The value of preparedness is apparent from even a cursory review of this\nincident. Yet, of the federal agencies with statutory responsibility for\npreparedness, only the NWS has been willing to invest any funds in personnel\nto assure preparedness for flooding in the area affected. Other agencies\n(Corps of Engineers) have spent considerable funds in flood control measures.\nThese expendituress undoubtedly resulted in considerable savings. However,\nthose who live in the flood plain outside the control structures, can only\nreact as those in a position to do so (The NWS) predict the occurrence of an\nemergency. These are the prime beneficiaries of preparedness.\nThe WV State Office of Emergency Services has a person, hired at the first\nof May, using funds provided by the NWS, to carry out the functions of\nState Flood Warning Coordinator. He was, obviously, just becomins acquainted\nwith his job as this flood took place. The grant from the NWS will only last\nthrough September, 1985. The West Virginia Office of Emergency Services\nsigned a Memorandum of Understanding in 1980 indicatins that they would fund\nthis positon. However, they have thus far been unable to do so due to state\nbudget cuts. It is unclear at this time whether the state will fund this\nposition after September, 1985.\nThe Virginia Office of Energy and Emersency Services also signed a Memorandum\nof Understanding in 1980 indicatins that they would fund a State Flood Warning\nCoordinator position. They have done 50 and much of the preparedness carried\nout in the three VA IFLOWS counties is to the credit of this individual.\nThe KY Office of Disaster and Emersency Services signed a 1980 Memorandum of\nUnderstanding that they would provide a person to fill the functions of State\nFlood Warning Coordinator. Except for the first few months after signing the\nMemorandum, the person assigned the duties of State Flood Warning Coordinator\nhas had other duties which take more than half the incumbent's time. It is\nunclear whether KY will be able to fund a full-time State Flood Warning\nCoordinator.\nFEMA, althoush having the statutory responsibility for natural disaster\npreparedness, has never funded any personnel for this PURPOSE in any of the\nIFLOWS states. They should be encourased to do SO either through direct\nassignment of a federal position or through funding of a state position.\n87","SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Meece\nSUBJECT: Recent flood event in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia\nDuring the recent flooding in Southwest Virginia and East Tennessee IFLOWS\nhas once again proved an invaluable tool. The combination of IFLOWS and our\nWSR-57 Radar enabled us to keep up with the flood event in a manner just not\npossible prior to IFLOWS. Our gages in the operational portion of the system\noperated at about 90% efficiency.\nIt is just unfortunate that the system is so near completion in Southwest\nVirginia and yet was not available except in the three original counties.\nHowever, these were among the counties suffering the most damage ( more\nthan six-million dollars in Buchanan County alone ) . IFLOWS data enabled us\nto begin warning early monday morning although we were not under a Flash\nFlood Watch at the time. The first warning was issued for Buchanan County,\nVirginia and for Greene County Tennessee at 415 AM Monday May 7th. If you\ncontact Civil Defense personnel in any of the counties affected I think\nyou will find that we were able to provide effective warnings and to keep\nthem updated.\nAlthough this flood event did not have quite the same magnitude as the 1977\nflood in some portions of Virginia, it was more extensive, and to some extent\naffected all our counties of responsibility in East Tennessee and Southwest\nVirginia. I would certainly hate to go through another event without IFLOWS,\nand am hoping for an early completion of the system. Only by having worked\nother flood events without IFLOWS can you really appreciate just how effective\nthe system can be.\nIFLOWS also offers tremendous possibilities for refining our guidance data.\nI have already made some preliminary contacts with the Cincinnati River Forecast\nOffice regarding some obvious errors in a couple of Virginia locations.\nAddressees:\nW/OH2 - John Schaake\nW/OH2 - John Monro\nW/OH2 - George Stephenson\nW/ER2 - Al Kachic\nW/SR2 - Dave Smith\nAM/MEM- Norm Prosser\nAND\nAttachment #15\nNOAA\n103","AVERAGE ACCUMULATED RAINFALL MAP\nRW\nMAY 06, 1984 TO 1200Z, MAY 07, 1984\n1200Z,\nUNION.\n5\nF\nWESTMO\nCODE\nVALUE\n340\n350\n10°\n360\n20\n748\n24\nBROOKE\n4E\n60\nRAIN\n100TH\nMAGRISON\nE\nCHAMPAIGN\nW\nW\nW\nW\nFASHINGTON\nLICKING\n105N\nMIAMI\nGUERNSEY\nOHIO\nMUSKINGHM\n100N\n95N\nBELMONT\n/MADISON\nFRANKLIN\nCLARK\n90N\nGREENE\nNOBLE\n85N\nFAIRFIELD\n*\nGREENE\nMARSHALL\nPERRY\n319\nBON\nMONROE\nMONONGALIA\nFAYETTE\nPICKAWAY\n75N\n*\nPRESTO\nMORGAN\nWETZEL\nMARION\n70N\nWASHINGTON\nHOCKING\n65N\nWARREN\nROSS\n300\nSLINTON\n60N\nTAYLOR\n55N\nVINTON\nATHENS\n50N\n*\nPUCKER\nWood\nHARRISONX\nBARBOUR\nCLERMON\nPIKE\nMEIGS\nACTOMIE\n45N\nHIGHLAND\n290\nWIRT\n40N\n*\nJACKSON\nBROWN\nGILMER\nLEWIS\n35N\nSCIOTO\nADAMS\nUPSHURT\n30N\nMASON\n4x\nGALLIA\n25N\n1,11\nBRAXTON\n11TT\n20N\nROANEN\n15N\nLAWRENCE\n1,11,\n1ON\nGREENUP\nPUTNAM\nWEBSTER\nLEWIS\nKANAWHA\n131.1211\nSN\nROBERTSON\nCLAY\n0+\nPALMING\nHIGH\nNICHOLAS\n21316 POCAHONTAS\n5S\nLINCOLN\n112131\n111\n10S\n734\nWAYNE\n5575456543432\n/21111111\n15S\nBATH\nBOONE\n854474434\n4\n2235454\n20S\n259\nMORGAN\n30S\n35S\n61/11/111\n40S\nBBA9978\n45S\n&BB9AA8898\n9DEA85845YF1\n50S\nJACKSO\n55S\n60S\n240\n364322,\n655\nBED\nAUREL\n70S\n3556\nLROANOKE\n75S\nFRANKLIN\n64357\n80S\n7578EMK\n85S\nKNOX\nFLOYD\n90S\nBELL\nTLEY\n95S\n2202\nPATRICK\n100S\nPASHINGTON\nGRAYSON\nsepa\n11111\n105S\n210\n150\n1SOLLIVAN\n110S\nCLAIBORNE\nJOHNSON\nASHE\nALLEGHANY\nSTOKES\n1158\n196\n160\n200°\n180°\n120S\nSURRY\nWILKES\nF\nE\nW\nCARTED\n36\n48\n36\n24\n12\n0\n12\n24\n48\n60\n-84-96\n120\n108\n96\n84\n72\n60\nMISSING PERIODS: 1200-1830, 0050-0130, 0150-0430, 0500-0650, 0920-1110\n1150-1200\nAttachment #16\n104","CRW AVERAGE ACCUMULATED RAINFALL MAP\n1984\n1200Z, MAY 07, 1984 TO 1100Z,\nMAY\n08,\nF\n7\nA\nB\nE\n3\n4\n5\n6\nCODE VALUE\n2\n1\n140\nISQ\nRAIN(100TH IN)\n40\n50\n60\n10\nUNION\n350 COSHOCTON\n10°\n20\nBROOKE\n84\n12\n34\n120 10\neb\nDELAMAR\nESHINGTO\nCHAMPAIGN\nW\nW\nW\nW\nLICKING\nJOHIO\n*\n105N\nGUERNSEY\nMIAMI\n100N\n320\n95N\nMADI\nFRANKLIN\nCLARK\n90N\nGREENE\nNOBLE\n*\nFAIRFIELD\n85N\nMARSHALL\nGREENE\nPERRY\nMONROE\n3101\nMONONGALIA\nSON\nFAYETTE\nPICKAWAY\nnew\nIN\n75N\n*\nPRESTON\nMORGAN\nWETZEL\nMARION\n11\n70N\nWASHINGTON'\n1231\n11\n65N\nTYLER\nROSS\nWARREN\n300\nSLINTON\nTAYLOR\n60N\nTAZHEN'S\nSSN\n1111117\n*\nTOCKER\nSON\nHARRISON\nBARBOUR\nCLERMON\nPIKE\n45N\n1,1\nHIGHLAND\n290\n15463221$\n413211\n40N\n11121117L,\nLEWIS\nBRGWER\n35N\n¥1\nSCIOTO\n1111T121111\nUPSHYAK\n1,111140011,\n11,2214\n30N\n111\n1111221,\n1,,21\n25N\nBRAXTON\n111115\n21432\n20N\n111,11,\nx11\n1211111\n15N\n11101,11\n1443\n10N\nGREENUP\nKANAWHA\n1.11\n[111111\nROBERTSON\n111,11111111\nCARTER\n12133\nHIGH\nNICHOLAS\n3.11.

The demands upon the NWS to receive data, process it, and\nissue hydrologic and meteorological forecasts in Tennessee\nare great. An unusual number of water oriented government\nagencies operate in Tennessee providing unique data inputs\nthat must be coordinated in order to have a complete flood\nwarning program. The Area Manager at WSFO Memphis and his\nstaff's that cover the State of Tennessee did an outstand-\ning job of warning the public during this event.\n2. If I were to make suggestions, they would be in two areas:\na. Some flood warning/statements give specific crest\nstage forecasts without mentioning the flood or\nwarning stage. Stations without a known flood\nstage could be best forecast in generic terms\ni.e. two feet of flooding or bankfull.\nb. Flood statements can be enhanced by the use of\nE-19 descriptions of damages from past flood\nevents.\n3.

McL'aughlin\nFROM:\nSUBJECT: Report on Tennessee Flash Floods, May 5 through May 11, 1984\nA series of intense Meso-scale Convective Complexes swept across Arkansas,\nTennessee, and the south-central Appalachian areas May 6 through May 8, 1984. The\nconvective weather was concentrated along an east-west frontal system, which was\nsagging slowly south into a very moist, unstable airmass covering the southeastern\nU. S.\nThough much like the \"Frontal Heavy Rain\" event defined by Maddox, this event\nwas more long-lived than implied by Maddox. In addition, severe convective\nweather was common throughout the life of the event. Along with flood producing\nrains, the thundestorms triggered large hail, tornadoes, and destructive winds.\nWhile this report covers the May 5 to May 11 period, there was an extended\ntime of frequent heavy rain and severe weather. The prolonged bout of rain and\nsevere weather extended from April 27 through May 8, 1984. Indeed, the first\nflood warnings were posted as early as May 2 for flash floods in the Memphis and\nChattanooga area. While this event subsided prior to May 5, soils remained\nsaturated from the heavy rains.\nRainfall during the April 27-May 8 period totaled six to eleven inches in\nsoutheast Tennessee, and four to eight inches in northeast Tennessee.\nThe combined burdens of severe weather and flood producing rain over such a\nprolonged time severely loaded our warning advisory system. Over 200 hours of\novertime were required to adequately cover warning and forecast desks in Tennessee\nduring the more intense period.\nThe AFOS system, in general, performed adequately. In only a few instances\nwere advices delayed because of system Failure and the bulk of the communications\nwere handled efficiently and smoothly by the synchronous and asynchronous com-\nmunications system.\nThere were failures and short-comings, however. The asynchronous com-\nmunications queue at WSFO Memphis had to be monitored closely. If not monitored\nand manually manipulated, the queue would grow too long resulting in system insta-\nbility. This required devoting one person almost entirely to this task during\ntimes of peak activity.\nAir conditioning failed at WSO Nashville. The resultant office heat contrib-\nuted to system instability and a few warnings were delayed as the computer was\nrestarted. Hardware failure at WSO Chattanooga forced backup communications pro-\nNOAR\n123","cedures into use. Warning messages were telephoned to WSFO Memphis for prepara-\ntion and distribution via AFOS. The failure occured while switching from\nemergency power to commercial supply. Two CPU boards failed but close coor-\ndination with the WSFO Memphis Electronic Technician allowed quick transfer of\nparts from Memphis, and the system was restored in less than five hours.\nNWS offices in Tennessee performed admirably, despite the hardships imposed\nby long work hours and often unstable communications. Warnings and advisories\nwere timely, and generally well written. Prominent was the inclusion of language\nto enhance the public perception of risk.\nTiming and wording of the advices illustrate that our offices were basing\nwarning decisions on remotely sensed data (radar, satellite, etc.) rather than\nwaiting and relying on reports of flooding.\nIFLOWS proved quite helpful in accessing the threat of flooding and was a\nvaluable aid while monitoring progress of the storm. The WSO staff programmed\nIFLOWS for delivery of precipitation data at 15-minute intervals. To quote WSO\nBristol MIC Oscar Meece, \"The combination of IFLOWS and our WSR-57 radar enabled\nus to keep up with the flood event in a manner just not possible prior to IFLOWS.\"\nWhile little can be done to reduce property damage, the low death/injury\ntotals are excellent measures of the watch/warning efforts of the Tennessee NWS\noffices. There were three flood related deaths in Tennessee during this critical\nweather period. Two occurred as a result of the victims driving vehicles into\nflood waters, the other victim was swept into a city storm sewer while clearing\ndebris from the storm drain.\nA partial listing of early damage estimated as resulting from flash floods\nincludes the following:\nHamilton County\n$2,100,000\nSullivan County\n$ 80,000\nMcMinn County\n$ 350,000\nMeigs County\n$750,000\nRhea County\n$ 500,000\n$ 25,000\nHawkins County\nGreene County\n$ 485,000\nJohnson County\n$150,000\nWashington County\n$\n25,000\nUnicoi County\n$500,000\nCarter County\n$ 468,000\nThe chief recommendations for improvement lie in the area of hardware.\nForemost, IFLOWS installation should be completed in the northeast Tennessee-\nsouthwest Virginia area. IFLOWS, or a similar dense rainfall network, should be\nexpanded across the state and region. AFOS communications needs improvement.\nUpgrading the Tennessee Weather Wire to 300 baud will remove the asynchronous\nqueue problem and the resultant system instability. The air conditioning system\nat WSO Nashville is being replaced; that should help improve system stability at\nthat site.\nAs in other events, forecasters at times seem hesitant to issue flash flood\nwatches. Statements and weather discussions show they clearly recognize the\nthreat of heavy rain and the potential for flooding, yet the decision to post a\n124","flash flood watch seems a particularly difficult one for forecasters. Perhaps,\ninstead of concentrating on the flash flood warning process, the NWSTC Flash Flood\ncourse should redirect its emphasis toward elements that shape the watch decision.\nAttached is a listing of the severe weather and flash flood advices issued by\nTennessee NWS offices during the May 5 through May 11, 1984 period.
