Where: Clarke County, Central Portion
Property damage: $3,000

Heavy rainfall caused temporary street flooding along secondary roads off of US Hwy 43 between Jackson and Grove HIll. Local weather radars estimated that three to four inches of rain fell in a three hour period. As the storms moved out of the area, the flooded roads quickly drained.

What these are

Flash Flood: Flooding that begins within six hours of the rain that causes it, or of a dam or levee failure or ice jam release, often with deadly speed.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
