Fair And Cooler Forecast Brings Cheer To Ohio
A week of heavy rain and heat gave way to a projected fair and cooler weekend in Ohio. The Weather Bureau in Columbus logged 1.98 inches of rain over five days, with 3.32 inches for mid July and higher totals in some areas. A fatal lightning strike near Xenia killed William Thompson, and his brother-in-law Clarence Riley was injured escaping a creek. Damaging storms ripped Bucyrus and Kenton, toppling trees, flooding roads, and wounding crops, while Celina’s apple crop suffered heavily and Grand Lake area roadways were washed out. Electric power dipped in Kenton after a 65 mile per hour wind, and other hail and lightning damaged homes and farms across the state.
