Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

What the National Weather Service wrote

Old Charles Town Road was flooded at Opequon Creek.

The wider storm

A deep upper level trough tapped into Gulf and Atlantic moisture which led to heavy rain across the Mid Atlantic. Tropical-like conditions resulted in showers and thunderstorms to persist before a cold front moved through later in the day.

Began near Brucetown (39.2264, -78.0584).
