It got pretty wet between the seats splashing through those newly formed ponds and creeks in the road. I did make it a block from my house when I could not go no farther so I parked at the bar to wait out the floods. There were cars and SUV's stuck in the road and running into each other in the ditchs. Some of those SUV's were up to their roofs.


When I was on my way to Michigan (Ann Arbor) last week, I decided it would be cool to not use the Ohio Turnpike but instead use less travelled roads. I used some 2 and 3 digit state highways to get to US62 east of Canton, then stayed on US30 until reaching the US23 cutoff in central Ohio.

Anyhow, around Crestline the sky opened and a real heavy rain started. There was some flash flooding including a spot where the road was under about 8 inches of water... nothing high enough to get in my car.

Probably some wet basements, but only one house did I see where it was completely flooded around the house; People were wading to the road in probably ankle to mid-calf deep water.

And I saw a car which looked like it had been in demolition derbies which was for sale, painted "Runs Well" in someone's yard which looked like the engine compartment was probably mostly underwater. Not anymore

On the way back, the house which had a yardful of water looked fine, and the car had been moved a good bit up the yard it was in, but was still for sale.
