Multiple swift water rescues were needed for animals trapped inside of a building submerged with three to four feet of water on Granville Pike. The building backs up to Fetters Run stream.

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 Lancaster (39.7492, -82.5864).
