Mar 3, 2001
Heavy rainfall caused extensive washouts to secondary roads and bridges across the counties. Most of the water had drained by sunset and most of the roads were reopened. However, some of the roads and bridges, especially in Clarke county, had to be rebuilt and were closed for several days before they were reopened. Radar estimated four to six inches of rainfall fell across the area.
