to prepare for power outages and locally strong wind gusts. Impact Southeastern United States The precursor disturbance to Fay moved into the Florida Panhandle and crossed over into Georgia on July 6, delivering heavy rainfall throughout the state and causing widespread flash flooding as far as the Savannah River valley. Augusta, Georgia recorded its wettest day in July on record, with 4.64 inches (117 mm) of rain falling in 24 hours, breaking the record of 4.58 inches (116.3 mm) that had stood since 1887. 7.07 inches (179.5 mm) of rain fell in 48 hours in Loco. US$4,000 worth of property damage occurred in Ringgold, when a severe thunderstorm generated by the disturbance caused 60 mph (95 km/h) winds in the city, causing trees to become uprooted or topple over onto homes. Many roads in South Carolina were deemed inaccessible and became flooded, while one road became completely washed out. Hunting Island State Park in South Carolina recorded at least 12.75 inches (323 mm) of rain due to the disturbance and had to be closed; over 100 sea turtle nests were also destroyed within the park boundaries. Beachgoers on the North Carolina coast observed two waterspouts on July 6, with one of them moving ashore and becoming an EF0 tornado, which lifted an umbrella, although it is not clear as to whether or not this was actually caused by Fay or another approaching extratropical storm from the west. Northeastern United States Fay's impacts were felt across a majority of the Northeastern U.S., with widespread rain, flash flooding, and minor wind damage occurring as a result of the storm. Losses from Fay in this region were estimated to be at least US$350 million. Delaware and Pennsylvania While Fay was near peak intensity, its rainbands produced gale-force winds along the Delaware coast, with sustained winds of and gusts as high as recorded near Long Neck. Several other Mesonet and DelDOT sites measured tropical storm-force wind gusts along the coastline as well. The storm uprooted trees and knocked down power lines in Long Neck and Nassau. Rainfall in the state reached near Lewes. Heavy rainfall caused flooding in Sussex County, reaching depths of in Bethany Beach. Floodwaters covered portions of DE 1, including the area just south of the Indian River Inlet Bridge. The intersection of DE 1 and DE 54 in Fenwick Island was flooded, where a vehicle knocked down a pedestrian signal
