Event narrative (NOAA)
Heavy rain fell near Batesville which produced 1.5 inches in one hour and a total of 3.50 inches over an 8 hour span. This caused a creek to rise out of its banks and flood eight businesses and two homes in the southern part of town. In addition, a possibly impaired driver drove into flood waters on a road that was currently under construction with the installation of new culverts. One fatality and one injury occurred from the accident.
