| episode_narrative | Excessive and frequent rainfall occurred for much of the month over north central and northeast Ohio. Monthly rainfall totals ranged from nearly 6 inches to a little over 11 inches, all well above normal. Akron (Summit County) received 5.73" (2.41" above normal); Mansfield (Richland County) had 6.26" (2.89" above normal); Youngstown (Mahoning County) had 6.37" (2.89" above normal); and Cleveland received 11.05" (7.61" above normal). This shattered the Cleveland all-time monthly rainfall record, previously 9.77" set in June 1902. The Cleveland all time 24 hour rainfall record was also broken when 5.22 inches of rain fell from 8 pm on September 6th to 8 pm on the 7th. The old record was 4.97 inches from September 1st and 2nd, 1901. The rain caused an unknown amount of property damage. Phone service in some sections of the Youngstown area was disrupted for several days as water seeped into phone lines. Crops that were stunted from the dry conditions of August were damaged and destroyed from the abrupt and excessive moisture. Farm equipment could not get through the muddy fields for harvest. The dollar amount of crop loss was unknown but was expected to be 10 to 30 percent of normal harvest. |
