| | Hurricane Floyd was strong but was no Agnes |
 | | Hurricane Floyd, which glanced Florida, churned up the Carolinas and deluged central New Jersey, produced more rain in a shorter period of time in some areas than the all-time leader in precipitation, Hurricane Agnes, did in 1972, according to climatologists at the Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell. |
 | | Agnes formed over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on June 14, 1972, making landfall over the Florida panhandle as a category one hurricane five days later. |
 | | Agnes was downgraded to a tropical depression as it took an inland path over Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. |
