Around 1.5 to 1.75 inches of rain fell in less than an hour. This localized downpour affected such stream basins as Kennedy Hollow, Pond Run, and White Oak Creek. The residential areas aided in the runoff.||Near the mouth of Kennedy Hollow, the culvert under Route 23 could not handle the runoff from the residential area. The stream backed up into homes along First Street. Elsehwere, a few businesses along Diederich Boulevard got water inside. A few vehicles were stranded in high water.
Multiple neighborhoods observed tree and power line damage near US 23, including Wurtland Avenue, Virginia Street, Heaberlin Road, Chinns Branch Road, Clark Lane, Baptist Street, Grubb Road, and Horsely Cemetery Road.
