Event narrative (NOAA)
Near Bernie, a woman drowned when her vehicle hydroplaned off Highway U and into a water-filled drainage ditch. The car drifted downstream over 400 feet until it lodged on a large culvert. Two passers-by tried to rescue her as she exited the partially submerged vehicle, but the strong current swept her away. Elsewhere in the county, a few state roads were closed due to flooding, including sections of Routes O, T, U, and Z. Overflowing creeks prompted the closure of T Highway from Highway 51 to J Highway.
