A small tropical disturbance moved northward from the Gulf of Mexico on September 20, 1969, and became quasi-stationary for about 48 hours in the coastal area between Port St. Joe and Panama City, Florida.

This report documents the magnitude and extent of flooding for September 20-23, 1969. The report describes flood damage, rainfall intensities, and storm characterization. It gives peak discharges at selected sites and flood profiles of selected reaches of three streams, and makes comparisons with previous flood peaks.
