Using a novel but a proven strategy to detect Flash Droughts (FDs), we identified four cases out of 30 (~13%) landfalling Atlantic TCs over the period of 2000-2018 Atlantic hurricane seasons that were associated with FD events in their wake. In all four instances of these FD events, the principal causes were found to be the rapid reduction in precipitation and warming of the surface temperature despite the moderate to weak anomalously wet soil prevalent in the wake of the landfalling TC. These FD cases assume significance because they occurred in southeastern US, which is primarily energy limited for evapotranspiration in the summer. Furthermore, all four cases of FD occurred coincidentally with a more widespread, neighboring drought near the landfall region, which suggests that these FD extend these large-scale droughts from the exacerbated conditions in the wake of the landfalling TC.
