No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
The Marion county 911 center reported that two trees fell down. One was a large oak tree that fell on a church in Tazewell, resulting in significant structural damage. The other fell down on a power line along county road 80 at Brantley.
The local Emergency Manager reported several roads washed out in the area, including Moody Road near Sandy Acres. Radar estimates indicate that 4 to 5 inches of rain occurred in the area, resulting in the flash flooding.
