Event narrative (NOAA)

Numerous roads in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Sherwood, Jacksonville, and unincorporated areas of Pulaski County were flooded. Water entered some houses and garages on Stagecoach Rd. in Little Rock. In Little Rock's Boyle Park, the body of a 46 year-old woman was found in Rock Creek near the low-water bridge on the evening of the 21st. She had apparently been in the water since earlier in the day. The circumstances of how she ended up in the creek were unknown, but she had apparently been on foot. The state medical examiner ruled that drowning was the cause of death.
