The National Weather Service issued the warnings for Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Madison, Morgan, Shelby, and Johnson counties. According to reports, the storm dumped up to 2 inches of rain in some areas, causing water levels to rapidly rise. Residents reported seeing water flowing through streets and into homes, with some areas experiencing flooding worse than others. The National Weather Service stated that the flash flood warnings were issued due to the heavy rainfall and strong winds, which caused trees to topple and power lines to snap.

Residents in affected areas reported hearing loud thunderstorms and seeing lightning illuminate the sky. Some even captured footage of hail stones hitting their cars and homes.
