Around 15 inches of rain fell over the course of a few days, sending the Lynches River out of its banks and it continued rising to a major flood. The river crested at 19.73 feet, the highest level since 1945, and the third highest ever. Over two hundred homes were inundated, with evacuations necessary. The town of Johnsonville also saw its share of flooding along the Lynches River.
