Several days after Newburg residents and firefighters dealt with heavy rains and flash flooding, the damage was still being surveyed.
According to the National Weather Service, 3.11 inches of rain fell Thursday, with .3 inches falling after midnight. That was most rainfall in a single day ever recorded in this area — the old record had been 1.23 inches.
In its wake, the rain left damage of varying degrees to several homes, cars, retaining walls and even the Newburg school building.
Road shoulders on Water Street were damaged heavily, according to Brumett.
On First Street, the road that runs parallel to the Little Piney Creek, water reached as high as four feet, damaging cars and sending propane tanks floating along the road.
