Torrential rains did quite a bit of damage in Northern Kentucky Thursday night.
The sky opened up – and so did the roof on a Hebron warehouse.
The water poured down so quickly, it couldn't get out of its own way.
The deluge was too much for the flat roof on the UPS warehouse located on Worldwide Boulevard, as Mother Nature delivered a “one-two punch” of wind and rain.
Nearby Hebron neighborhoods were surrounded by rushing water.
Tiny creeks became rushing rivers, even jumping the road in some locations, plowing through a fence, moving cars and pick-up trucks hundreds of feet – and knocking some houses off their foundations.
Five homes sustained serious structural damage due to the raging water and one home was destroyed.
Golf ball-sized hail was also making a dent in Hebron, damaging vehicles.
Back at the warehouse, it's hard to believe looking at the damage that no one was hurt when the roof collapsed.
Bandages, presumably part of a delivery, are now strewn about the parking lot.
Also in Hebron, the fire chief there says it’s a miracle that two 16-year-old girls are alive after they were sucked into a drainage pipe during the severe weather.
Fire Chief Bill Martin says the teens were standing near a drainage pipe on Petersburg Road when the heavy rain came. The downpour caused a nearby creek to go way out of its banks and turn into a raging river.
The two teens were sucked into the pipe, dragged through it under the roadway and tossed out the other end.
The fire chief says they are both okay – but it’s still a miracle.
