A National Weather Service employee in the East End of Charleston measured 0.90 in an hour. ||Street flooding was common from Saint Albans and Cross Lanes into the Charleston vicinity. Underpasses were flooded. Water flowed off some of steeper hillsides onto roads and into yards. This included along the Kanawha Turnpike in South Charleston. Smith Creek Road was damaged. A few vehicles stalled in the deepest water resulting in some water rescues. Water surrounded a house along Doc Bailey Road.
