Event narrative (NOAA)
Flat Creek near the intersection of Hewitt Drive and Mars Drive, behind Midway High School, flooded over the roadway. The creek also overflowed near the intersection of Panther Way and Panther Run. It was reported that the creek overflowed by at least half a mile, was up to 2 feet over at least one road, and the water was swiftly flowing over the road; like a river. Several cars were stuck in the water. An 18-year-old male died when his car was swept off the road in the dark and swept down the creek. The car was found about 2 miles down the creek, and his body was found the next day near the creek. Part of the asphalt of Panther Way was destroyed in chunks and had to be replaced.
