Reported by
EMERGENCY MANAGER
Coordinates

Rains of 2 to 5 inches fell in less than 5 hours. The cooperative observer at McConnelsville had a 24 hour total of 5 inches. About 4.5 inches of the total fell in just over 2 hours, with the 5 inch total occurring in a 4 to 5 hour period. This produced flooding on many county roads and State Route 60. Water was 4 to 5 feet over some of the roads. Three homes were threatened by rising water, but no evacuations were required. The county emergency manager director reported only minor damage from this downpour. A few basements were flooded. Some county and township roads received minor damage.

What these are
