Flash Flood Warnings are in effect for several NEO communities this evening

2024-08-09 11:25:02

Coming off the severe storms on Tuesday, more storms are not ideal. The outer bands of Tropical Depression Debby have made their way into Northeast Ohio this evening.

This is a pretty skinny line of storms (only about 10 miles across), but it is dropping buckets of rain across many communities. Not only is the rain rate high, these storms are barely moving resulting in flash flooding this evening. Take these warnings seriously, especially as the sun goes down.

Turn around, and don’t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles, and it can be very difficult to see flooded roads at night.
