What the National Weather Service wrote

Flash flooding transitioned to widespread areal flooding across the county with numerous roads and bridges damaged. Emergency management estimated damage in the county at $2.4 million. $1 million of that total was for a single bridge, and the other $1.4 million was due to road damage.

The wider storm

As a cold front moved south into the region and stalled, a series of upper level disturbances moved through the area with broad southwest flow and moist conditions. As the boundary became oriented parallel to the upper level winds, training bands of convection set up and produced some locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding.

Began near Lowery (31.1600, -86.1400).
