Heavy thunderstorms moving southwest from Mississippi into Washington Parish dumped as much as 3 inches of rain in parts of Bogalusa.
At 6:30 p.m., the heaviest rains had passed through Bogalusa, leaving behind street flooding all across the city. In addition, some yards abutting Coburn Creek had water in them from the quick rise following the deluge.
In South Bogalusa, from about the point where Columbia Street intersects with Highway 21, there were also intermittent power outages from that point north until past Northshore Technical College.
Daytime heating created conditions perfect for the development of the thunderstorms, which resulted in the National Weather Service issuing a severe thunderstorm warning.
At 7:35, radar showed another line of thunderstorms stretching from west of Columbia to east of I-59. Those storms were tracking to the south/southwest with the strongest cells reaching Washington Parish about 9 p.m. and passing over Bogalusa about 9:30.
Measurable rainfall for the month of July in Bogalusa totaled 4.1 inches at 7:30 Wednesday evening, following .55 inches on July 2 and another .55 inches on July 5.
