The police had to erect barricades because drivers were still attempting to drive through the water and the vehicles were stalling. my rss feed as of 4:03 p.m.: http://jothut.com/cgi-bin/junco.pl/blogpost/55643/22Jun2015/Nws-feeds Toledo Weather Messages - 2015-06-27T20:06:03Z * Flood Watch - 2015-06-27T15:46:00-04:00 * Flood Warning - 2015-06-27T15:42:00-04:00 * Flood Advisory - 2015-06-27T14:01:00-04:00 * Special Weather Statement - 2015-06-27T13:15:00-04:00 * Lakeshore Flood Warning - 2015-06-27T10:06:00-04:00 * Beach Hazards Statement - 2015-06-27T10:06:00-04:00 * Hazardous Weather Outlook - 2015-06-27T20:06:03Z hr. http://www.toledoblade.com/Police-Fire/2015/06/27/Heavy-rains-force-downed-power-lines-trees-cancellations-in-Toledo.html http://www.toledoblade.com/local/2015/06/27/5-400-affected-by-power-outages-in-area-including-1-700-in-Perrysburg.html hr.

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. br.

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...

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. br.

That system caused a lot of damage in southwest Ohio. It produced strong winds and some rain in northwest Ohio, but it moved through our area super fast. q.
