After a stretch of over 2 weeks of on and off showers and thunderstorms, a powerful cold front brought in cooler and drier air to the region but also left behind damage to numerous cities and towns. Damage came in the form of downed trees and powerlines, flooded creeks, rivers, basements, yards, and even neighborhoods. Three tornadoes were also spawned from thunderstorms that crossed the area.
