East of the town of Marshall, parts of Arkansas Highway 74E were covered by high water along with several county roads that were washed out in northeastern Searcy county.

The wider storm

A slow moving cold front, located near the Arkansas and Missouri borders, set the stage for a dangerous flood event to unfold on the night of the 16th into the morning of the 17th across north-central into central portions of Arkansas. Rainfall amounts of 4 to 9 inches were measured. This much rain in a relatively short amount of time lead to flash flooding, some of which was significant.

Began near Rock Spg (35.9444, -92.5312).
