Slow-moving thunderstorms produced flash flooding of numerous roads, culverts, and low lying underpasses in southern Seneca County. A state of emergency was declared in Seneca County due to the flash flooding as many roads were either flooded or impassable. The flooding included the towns of Covert and Ovid, and the village of Interlaken. There were several flooded basements in the town of Ovid. An estimated 3 to 4 inches of rain fell.
A thunderstorm quickly became severe over southern portions of Seneca county. Downed trees and wires were reported in the town of Ovid. The cell weakened below severe limits a short time later.
