Heavy rain that led to flooding in Lorain County is being described as the worst summer storm many have experienced in years.
Thousands of people have been left without power, generators are in short supply, and many say they’re worried about the second round of storms that could hit late Thursday night.Trish Stephanchick and her husband were on a camping trip, but came home early when neighbors alerted them the storms were wreaking havoc.
Stephanchick says her basement is estimated to have about 3 inches of water when they made it home, but likely had about 6 following the storm. But, she considers herself lucky after hearing others in the city of Lorain had three feet of water in their homes. Adding insult to injury, the Lorain homeowner tells me most people here don’t have flood insurance because at least for a decade flooding has not been an issue, at least in this particular housing development.
Neighbor Greg Foster says he’ll likely stay up all night to ride out the next round of storms and make sure his basement is okay.
