 Floodwaters caused by heavy rains late Tuesday through early Wednesday in multiple cities and counties across north central Arkansas had largely receded by late Wednesday afternoon, but they left a significant mess behind. The Arkansas Democrat Gazette reports Baxter, Claiborne, Conway, Faulkner, Lawrence, Marion, Searcy and Stone counties all reported some impacts from flooding. The effects of the rain were widespread across parts of north and central Arkansas, with no one area being the epicenter.
