Severe thunderstorms produced large hail, ranging from quarter to half dollar size, and very heavy rain. A wet microburst associated with one of the storms produced flash flooding south of Ovid. The heavy rain washed out a portion of County Road 29, reducing it to one lane. Several other roads were reportedly washed out in the immediate area as well.
