A cold front sank slowly southeast on the 9th.  Widespread rain showers were along and south of the front during the predawn and morning hours.  The area of showers was oriented west to east, along the mean flow.  Rain amounts of 1.75 to 2.5 inches fell in 12 hours on either side of dawn.  A few examples included Grayson Dam with 2.44 inches and Olive Hill with 2.72 inches.  An automatic gauge in western Lawrence County measured around 2.4 inches. Louisa observed 1.7 inches. This caused small streams to flood roads and surround a few homes.
The total monthly rain through the first 2 weeks of the month in northeast Kentucky was on the order of 6 to 8 inches.  That is about double the normal amount for the whole month of April. Due to the saturated ground, in addition to the flooding, hillsides cut away from roads. Homes also became vulnerable to rock or land slides.
Though the damage was less, this episode was also included in the Kentucky federal disaster that was initiated for events during the first week of the month.  See FEMA DR-4217 for more information.
