bringing an unprecedented nearly 40" of rain to the area and claiming the lives of dozens locally and beyond. A painful reminder that a storm doesn't need to reach hurricane strength to be devastating, in fact Allison was the first tropical storm name to be retired without ever reaching hurricane status.
Rounds of torrential rainfall followed, intense rates of several inches per hour that lasted for hours on end. One of the unique characteristics of this storm was that it delivered not one, but two devastating blows with the second one being most critical. The slow moving, erratic storm’s initial pass was on June 5-7, 2011.
This long-lasting June storm remained subtropical for a total of 16 days. It moved on to bring Louisiana 20-30" of rainfall, and up to a foot along other areas of the gulf coast all the way up to the northeast in Pennsylvania over the course of those two weeks. Tropical Storm Allison left a wrath of $9 billion in total damage, making it the costliest Tropical Storm in U.S. History.
