Flash flooding led to aerial flooding across much of the county. Numerous roads and bridges remained closed, mainly in the northern part of the county.||In the Lime Springs area, the road to Lidtke park was damaged and water approached the top of the Lidtke Mill bridge.||Parts of Protivin was evacuated due to flood waters and ponding. Crops were also hit hard with too much standing water.
A business building was destroyed by a storm in the Protivin area. A gustnado likely caused the damage, but local officials suspected a tornado may have struck in a 100-foot area and destroyed the building.
Heavy rains from Tropical Depression Cristobal caused some flash flooding to occur across the eastern sections of Howard County. Roads were closed because of high water west of Protovin.
