Indirect fatality due to blunt force from a washed out 6' tin horn on NS3630 about 1/4 to 1/2 South of EW 1440. Car was traveling at a high rate of speed. It looked like water never went across road. Debris clogged the tin horn.

Three to four feet of water accumulated at the Seminole Ford/Mercury car dealership. Numerous city and county roads were closed due to the high water. A 67-year old woman drowned as her car was washed off the roadway into Magnolia Creek.
