Some of the harder hit areas included Powhatan Point, Shadyside, Barton, and the Colerain area where several evacuations and rescues were necessary starting on the evening of the 28th. One death occurred in the Barton area around 830 PM on the 28th when a 41-year-old woman's vehicle was swept from County Road 4 and into the Steep Run
