Avon Lake Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Several trees were blown down and power poles damaged.
A series of thunderstorms rolled in off Lake Erie during the early morning hours of June 23. Between 5 am and 6 am three separate storms hit northeast Lorain and northwest Cuyahoga Counties with heavy rain and strong winds. The radar estimates rainfall amounts of around 2.5 to 3 inches in a little less than two hours. The rainfall rates spiked to over 5 inches per hour during the height of the storm dropping 2.5 inches in 30 minutes. This intense rainfall overwhelmed storm drainage systems resulting in widespread basement flooding which started before widespread power outages. Some homes on Lake Road had up to five feet of water in their basements. Bay Village received between 2.8 to 3.5 of rain during about a two hour time period which resulted in over 400 homes with basement flooding. The heavy rain fell on ground that was already saturated which exasperated the flooding conditions. The Water Treatment Plant was forced to dump untreated sewage directly into Lake Erie in order alleviate flooding into residences. Interstate 90 in Rocky River was closed in both directions due to flooding and standing water. There were no official rain gauges located in the band of heaviest rainfall. The nearby gauges at Westlake and Sheffield Lake reported 1.80 and 1.90 respectively.
The Avon Lake Mayor reported that the power plant sustained roof damage and recorded a wind gust to 78 mph. Trained weather spotters and law enforcement also reported several trees down in Avon Lake, including Redwood Boulevard, Lade Road, and Edge Road. Numerous residents lost power.
