What the National Weather Service wrote

Trained spotter reported a stalled vehicle due to ponding of water on Dogwood Avenue near the intersection of Peach Street. Additional areas of poor drainage led to standing water in portions of downtown Ridgeway.

The wider storm

Anomalously high deep layer moisture over the area with strong moisture transport. Isentropic lift and favorable divergence aloft in the right entrance region of an upper level jet streak supported widespread rain which was moderate to heavy at times. This led to isolated flash flooding.

Began near Ridgeway (34.3101, -80.9622).
