Well, the past week was very interesting. Starting Saturday night, August 18 it started raining, and didn't want to stop. It rained pretty much continuously for three days. We had Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, Flood Watches and Flood Warnings. The Sandusky River through Tiffin started to rise. It wasn't too bad at first, but the river starts one county to our South, where they received over 8 inches of rain in 7 hours. So of course all that rain had to go somewhere, and that somewhere was upstream to us. Our flood stage is 8', and the river crested at 10.6' on Thursday afternoon.
We were pretty lucky in Tiffin though. Some towns nearby were devastated by flood waters. Findlay and another town, almost broke flood records from 1913. There are certain websites where you can view pictures from the floods. Just do a Google search for recent Ohio flooding and see what you come up with.
Here are some photos that I took last week:
Charlotte Street near High School
E. Davis Street, A good fishing spot,
especially now.

No, that's not a joke!
