Rainfall drought deepens Lorain County crops hit hard
Lorain County faces a drought with three month rainfall of 4.04 inches, far below eight year norms. Ray Diederich notes 1985 had 7.25 inches for the period, while meteorologists warn of little immediate relief as upper air patterns limit Gulf moisture. Sprinkling bans remain in effect across townships including Avon Sheffield Lake and Amherst.
