Just before 4:00 p.m., Jun 27, 2015

we were out and about from approx 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. when we got home, a small-medium branch fell on our driveway apron from the silver maple tree on the devil's strip. the branch popped lose the electrical wire from our house. the bracket got pulled out from the house. dd called toledo edison. the wire is draped along our front yard and the public sidewalk. it's low over the street but cars could drive under it.

at about 4:00 p.m., a TPD officer stopped on the street to block traffic. i spoke with the officer. he said power outages exists around the city for similar things. he also said that many streets were flooded, including Douglas and The Trail. The police had to erect barricades because drivers were still attempting to drive through the water and the vehicles were stalling.

Last Updated: Jun 27, 5:26 PM

Moderate-to-heavy rain should continue for a while yet. It seems to be spiraling over Toledo and moving very, very slowly. Fulton County has been getting hammered all afternoon. And it's slowly getting worse for Lucas County.

This storm makes sense in November, but in late June, that's out there. One for the books.

Last Updated: Jun 27, 6:05 PM

around 5:40 p.m., a Toledo Edison employee stopped out in her car to survey the issue and call it in. she placed their version of caution tape across the tape in case the police officer needed to leave. it's unsure if Toledo Edison will simply attach the wire and its holding bracket back to the east side of our house, or they may shut our power off and return later to attach the wire. The latter makes less sense, since we have power. If it was a broken live wire, then yeah, shut off the power and repair when time permits. but bolting the bracket to a new spot should be simple.

Areal Flood Warning
Statement as of 4:16 PM EDT on June 27, 2015

The National Weather Service in northern Indiana has issued a

Flood Warning for...
De Kalb County in northeastern Indiana...
Allen County in northeastern Indiana...
LaGrange County in northeastern Indiana...
eastern Noble County in northeastern Indiana...
Steuben County in northeastern Indiana...
St. Joseph County in southwestern Michigan...
Branch County in southwestern Michigan...
Hillsdale County in southeastern Michigan...
Paulding County in west central Ohio...
Van Wert County in west central Ohio...
Putnam County in west central Ohio...
Williams County in northwestern Ohio...
Fulton County in northwestern Ohio...
Defiance County in northwestern Ohio...
Henry County in northwestern Ohio...
northern Allen County in west central Ohio...

until 115 am EDT Sunday

at 411 PM EDT... Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated
that heavy rain with up to 4 inches of rain has fallen. That heavy
rain is causing extensive flooding.

Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Fort Wayne... Defiance... New Haven... Auburn... Sturgis... Coldwater...
Van Wert... Kendallville... Napoleon... Angola... Bryan... Hillsdale...
Three Rivers... Wauseon... Delphos... Garrett... Ottawa... Archbold...
Bluffton... Hamler... Archbold and Montpelier.

Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible in the
warned area. The heaviest additional amounts are expected across
Fulton and northern Henry counties. In addition... wind gusts to 40
mph may lead to downed or uprooted trees... due to the extremely
saturated ground.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into
areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually
deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful
enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded
roads make the smart choice... turn around... dont drown.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams... highways and underpasses in urban areas.
Additionally... country roads and farmlands along the banks of
creeks... streams and other low lying areas are subject to flooding.
Move livestock to higher ground.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Move to higher ground.
