Flooding developed along portions of the Rocky River, some of its tributaries, and along other streams, including Back Creek when 4 to 5 inches of rain fell in about an 18 hour period. Several roads were closed, including Mt Pleasant Rd, Pharr Mill Rd, and Stallings Rd, and highway 200 in Harrisburg.
Numerous roads and bridges flooded when 4 to 6 inches of rain fell in about an 18 hour period. Poor drainage and stream flooding was involved, as Twelvemile Creek, Crooked Creek, Stewarts Creek, Bearskin Creek, and several other streams overflowed their banks. Two men had to be rescued when their car was swept off of Ridge Rd by flood water from Crooked Creek.
