Heavy rain of 2 to 5 inches caused flash flooding along Moores Creek just southeast of Bloomington. A 29 year old woman was killed as her car was swept off a county road adjacent to the creek. Police determined she was able to get out of her car, but found her body was carried about a quarter mile downstream and she subsequently drowned.
