In the several weeks since severe weather tore through Northeast Ohio, communities have been cleaning up and debriefing the storms’ impact.
Friday, Jeffrey Gilbert and his fiance were preparing to move their belongings from one apartment to another in their Lorain apartment complex. On the evening of August 23, the couple and the neighbors recall strong storms and then chaos.“The thunder and lighting was crazy. Then it poured and poured again. It was nonstop. I don’t think it stopped raining here until like 4 or 5 o’clock in the morning,” Gilbert said. “Her flooring in her living room was all warped.
“Normally, these storm sewers keep up with everything. But that just shows the magnitude of the storm,” said Superintendent Terry Korzan Friday, pointing out the large drainage system outside the Elyria Wastewater Pollution Control plant. “Systems weren’t able to catch up after the 2 inches of rain. Then we got hit with another 4-5 inches of rain directly after. So that just made things a lot worse,” he said.
“Nonstop lightning, nonstop supercells that just kept forming one after another after another. And they just wouldn’t let up. That’s what led to the devastation this time as well,” Korzan said.
