Flash Flood — Fulton, AR

Jan 13, 2007

A cold front moved into Arkansas from the northwest on the 12th and eventually stalled out over southeast Arkansas for several days. Meanwhile, a slow moving storm system approached the state from the west. Southerly winds ahead of the system brought abundant amounts of moisture northward over the stalled front, producing heavy rains across much of Arkansas along with widespread flash flooding. Many counties reported damage to roads and bridges.
