The northeast side of the storm seemed to get a lot more rain and wind than the southwest side did, probably due to it sucking up water from the Atlantic as it traveled, whereas the west side of the storm experienced shear over the gulf so there was no rain coming from the gulf. Still windy but not as bad without the rain.
Jacksonville also has the problem with a river that travels north and then dumps into the Atlantic. The storm rain is now trying to drain from the land via that river, but can't because the Atlantic is both surging and reaching high tide pushing the flow the opposite way.
