Torrential thunderstorm rains training across the county produced minor flash flooding. In the Uniontown area, flooding was reported along portions of US Route 40 and along SR 21 just west of Uniontown, where Jennings Run overflowed its banks. In Farmington, Dean Man's Creek overflowed its banks, causing minor flooding, while runoff from the heavy rains covered portions of Nelson Road with water.

What these are

Hail
Hail three-quarters of an inch or larger, or smaller hail that caused damage, filed with the largest stone measured.
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.
