A sudden, intense thunderstorm led to street-level flooding in parts of Columbia Monday night.
The heavy rains began moving in around 7:30 p.m., and persisted for over two hours. During the downpour, the National Weather Service issued a flash flooding warning for the area.
Some roads were briefly closed when they became covered in water, including frequently flood-prone areas such as Main and Whaley Streets and Gervais Street. Water could be seen swirling around the bottoms of several vehicles that attempted to drive in the water-covered roadways.
But just as soon as the water rose, they began to recede; within an hour of the end of the rain, most roads were passable again.
Heavy rain was also reported in lower Richland County and parts of Sumter County.
