On this day in 1977, heavy rain fell over a two day period. When all set and done, rainfall amounts ranged from six to as much as eight inches over portions of western, north-central, into northeastern Arkansas. This much rain in a short period of time led to flooding along the Buffalo River, Richland Creek, Clinton, and effected numerous roads and bridges.
