An intense thunderstorm produced winds estimated up to 80 mph which blew down dozens of trees and at least 20 power poles, damaged several roofs and unroofed a mobile home. Power was not fully restored to the town for two days. Also, 3.5 inches of rain fell in an hour which led to widespread flooding. The two main roads serving the area were impassable until well into the following day.
