Peak Flooding occurred approximately  between 1500 - 1730 ADT.  Actual heights above flood stage are unknown.  Here is a summary of reports from around Bristol Bay...Clarks Point - the northern flats flooded - no damage was reported.King Salmon/Naknek - Naknek River over flowed its banks and threatened several homes and cabins. The Beach Access Road out to Peterson Point Cannery had  the" worst erosion ever seen in such a short period of time" according to a representative of the City Borough Office. Areas were there were stairs going up to set-net cabins were completely destroyed and a good 10 foot section of the Bluff is now gone.  A small boat at the Leader Creek dock was set adrift by overflowing river water.  Port Heiden-Severe erosion. Road from the village into the main part of town was completely washed out - as well as the access road to the lagoon area. The lagoon area is where the villagers park their boats in times of bad weather.  Access roads to 2 homes were washed out. No structural damage was reported. Estimated ht above flood stage was about 20 to 25 feet according to the Traveling Environmental Coordinator for the Native Council.Egegik - Water was the highest many residents remember it being.  Pilings were washed away from the dock at Alaska General Seafoods causing some damage and potential problems for other buildings on the dock.Some of the riverside houses (fishing cabins) on both the south and north side of the Egegik River had floodingproblems.  Pilings on at least one were washed away.  A travel trailer on the north side was filled with and damaged by water.  At least one fishing cabin on the north side of the Egegik River near the King Salmon River was washed away.  Beach access road to the Egegik River sustained damage from the water that will require some work to smooth out and fill holes. Lastly, the banks of the Egegik River continue to erode away when the river gets high.  This is particularly a problem when the river got as high as it did.  There is not much protection the bank have, and will be causing major problems for residents and businesses in the future. Currently damage is still being estimated.

A supercell thunderstorm tracked east-southeast across southern Jefferson County. The greatest concentration of sporadic wind damage was oriented in a 4-mile long swath through Waltonville. Several large trees and tree limbs were downed. Two barns and one car were damaged by falling tree debris. Trusses of a business undergoing a re-roofing project were blown down. Part of a tin roof was blown off the corner of another barn. An uninhabited trailer home was blown off its foundation and demolished. The damage was determined to be from thunderstorm outflow winds, likely from the rear flank of the storm. Peak winds were estimated at 70 to 80 MPH. Toward the end of the damage path, a weak tornado briefly touched down.
On Friday, August 10th, a strong cold front moved east across northern New Jersey during the afternoon hours, preceded and accompanied by several lines of strong thunderstorms.  The cold front, which separated oppressively hot and humid air from significantly cooler and drier air, combined with very unstable atmospheric conditions to produce rapid and intense thunderstorm development during the early afternoon hours.  Strong wind gusts accompanied the thunderstorms, tearing some trees down, which subsequently fell onto power lines and led to scattered power outages.  In Bergen County, several trees were downed due to strong wind gusts in the vicinity of North Arlington. Some trees were also downed in Union County near New Providence.  Heavy rain also led to widespread ponding of water on roadways and highways, making travel difficult.
