What the National Weather Service wrote

An insurance building along Lancaster-Newark Road NE near Creekside Drive was overrun with several feet of flowing water from Fetters Run. Six cars in the parking lot were also affected.

The wider storm

A weak cold front sagged south through the Great Lakes region, stalling out as a stationary front through the Ohio Valley. This boundary, combined with a very warm and humid airmass, sparked showers and thunderstorms throughout the afternoon and into the evening hours on the 27th. Some of these storms produced damaging winds and heavy rainfall, which lead to instances of flash flooding.

Began near Dumontville (39.7500, -82.5900).
