| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A warm front lifted north, through West Virginia, during the day on Wednesday. Heating and instability increased greatly during the afternoon of the 12th. Dew points reached into the lower 70s across the lowlands. Disturbances in the mid and upper levels rippled southeast from the lower Great Lakes initially. Additional disturbances then moved east overnight into Thursday the 13th. ||The first round of showers and thunderstorms formed across in northern Ohio during the early evening of the 12th, then raced southeast into northern West Virginia as the new calendar day began.||Those initial cells did become repetitive in a few spots, such as northern Taylor County north of Grafton. This did not cause any serious flooding, but helped saturate the ground.||Meanwhile, another larger cluster of showers and thunderstorms moved out of northern Indiana, through Ohio, reaching into West Virginia during the predawn hours. The southern edge of this complex became oriented west to east, along the fast flow aloft. As a result, repetitive cells did dump heavy rain from Jackson County through southern Roane, southern Calhoun, southern Gilmer, Braxton, and Webster Counties. Rain amounts over 2 inches were common in that west to east band. The most serious of the flooding occurred in Roane County. By late July, this led to a Presidential disaster declaration. See FEMA DR-4132 for more details. ||A break in the rain occurred during the mid to late morning hours on the 13th. A few smaller showers and thunderstorms did form over north central West Virginia during this time frame. The final round of strong to severe showers and thunderstorms streaked east at 50 mph, out of Ohio, reaching West Virginia after 1000E on the 13th. This final round was also associated with the surface cold front. Wind gusts of 40 to 45 mph were common. Yet, the leading edge did become stronger as it headed into southeastern counties of West Virginia. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A small 25 to 30 foot bridge over Potter Creek along County Route 12 was damaged. The section of the bridge that was damaged was built in 1950. ||The heavy rains on the 13th and the swollen waters of Potter Creek caused the road surface over the bridge to sag on the 14th. The road was closed during the evening of the 14th.||The stream did not flood over the bridge. According to highway engineers the water level rose to about two-thirds the way up the abutments. The water scoured, or undercut, the foundations of the abutments. The whole bridge was scheduled to be replaced. |
