The wider storm

Additional thunderstorm rains on the 28th produced flash flooding across the entire county, forcing the closure of several county and state roads across the area. Some of the harder hit areas included Powhatan Point, Shadyside, Barton, and the Colerain area where several evacuations and rescues were necessary starting on the evening of the 28th. One death occurred in the Barton area around 830 PM on the 28th when a 41-year-old woman's vehicle was swept from County Road 4 and into the Steep Run Creek.
