Ephrata Fire Departmen Batallion Chief Kyle Foreman said the homeowner heard the water pouring down the creek from uphill, shortly before the rain and hail hit the city. The water caused minor damage to the residence.
The rain also flooded a portion of Basin Street, closing the street until roughly 6 p.m. Foreman said it's unknown whether any of the businesses were damaged.
