2.20 inches of rain fell in 90-minutes over West Toledo this afternoon, swamping some roads, during rush hour traffic. That's a lot of rain in such a short period of time, considering that This area of Douglas Rd typically floods when we get a toad-strangler. It's located by the Douglas Square Apartment, north of Gracewood, and just south of Laskey.
