Over six inches of rain fell in southeastern St. Clair County washing out roads and flooding local landscape. Whole sections of roadways were eroded away by the rain which overflowed river and creek banks throughout the county. In Collins, the water washed three inches of dirt and gravel from the downtown area. Highway T near Collins was closed for an hour because the Weaubleau Creek flooded and deposited logs and debris across the road.
