What happened
The episode as NWS CLE wrote it up.
Drought conditions across northern Ohio eased as thunderstorm rains became more widespread. None the less, very dry soil conditions persisted in a few areas that missed the brunt of the thunderstorm activity. Some communities instituted water use restrictions and crop yields will likely be reduced because of the lack of adequate rainfall. Losses due to the drought were unknown.
