A large complex of slow moving thunderstorms dropped 3.5 inches of rain in 4 hours over the town of Bluff. Several homes and businesses were flooded and parking lots were turned into lakes. A few farmers also reported losses as hay fields were totally flooded and suffered severe damage. It took several days for all of the water to finally runoff.
