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. Rains of 1.5 to 2.2 inches fell in about 12 hours. For example, St Albans measured 2.1 inches. This caused small streams to flood roads and surround a few homes.
Due to the saturated ground, in addition to the flooding, a few hillsides saw rock or land slides. The majority of these slopes had previously been cut away, to make room for roads or homes.
