Heavy rain caused flash flooding at the intersection of State Highway 71 and County Road T. The floodwaters, up to a foot in depth, were reportedly flowing across several county roads south of Punkin Center and west of Karval. County Road T eventually washed out due to a blocked culvert; forcing its closure about 2 miles east of the highway. Flooding was observed along County Road T all the way from State Highway 71 to just east of Karval.
