A vehicle drove into flood waters along the Mason-Eberle Road but the man inside was rescued by the Effingham County Dive Rescue Team. A woman near Herrick got out of her vehicle and waded through the flood waters to safety. Dive Team Commander Terry Trueblood said the rule of thumb is for motorists to stay in their vehicles, but this situation worked out.<\/p>\n<p>Over in Crawford County near the community of Annapolis, not only was there water over the roadway, but the roadway washed out.<\/p>\n<p>We recorded five inches of rainfall for the weekend, Friday through Sunday, here at our studios.
