Civil Defense director Bill Payne estimated that floodwaters might take up to two weeks to recede, with more rainfall possible. Severe damage occurred north of Maxey Park as water overtopped streets and knocked out power to campus buildings, while cars were washed away and residents reported water in homes. Fire crews removed over 30 stranded vehicles, and power was restored by daybreak.
