Five to seven inches of rain produced widespread flash flooding across Bracken County. Two homes were washed away off of Augusta-Minerva Road, killing one man (M82MH). Several other homes in the area sustained damage due to the high water. About 20 boats broke from their moorings on Bracken Creek and were washed into the Ohio River. Several roads across the area also sustained damage due to the rushing water.
A supercell tracked across the county causing significant damage. Roofs were blown off a barn and a restaurant. Between 50 and 100 trees were blown down between Augusta and Germantown, which is on the border of Mason county.
