Event narrative (NOAA)
An additional two to three inches of rain, from the remnants of Hurricane Ike, fell onto already saturated soils causing flooding. Numerous roads remained flooded and numerous creeks were well out of their banks due to the heavy rainfall. One woman drowned in flood waters on the east side of Columbia. Her and a friend had stopped to help someone who had been swept off Clark Lane into Hominy Creek. Against the advise of the friend, the woman attempted to help rescue the man and she was swept away.
