Just north of the Friendsville area, a campground was evacuated due to flooding from Mill Run Creek. More than 20 county roads, mostly in the northern portion of the county, were either damaged or temporarily closed due to flooding. In addition, flooding forced the temporary closure of State Route 42 in the Friendsville area and State Route 135 in Bloomington.
