CLEVELAND, Ohio — Instead of relaxing and savoring tasty bites of barbecue on the Labor Day holiday, Northeast Ohioans dealt with treacherous waters and road closures from flooding Monday that dumped more than 4 inches of rain .
Counties across Northeast Ohio were under a flash flood warning most of the day. Rain poured as early as 7 a.m. and did not relent for hours, causing the National Weather Service Cleveland to tell people to “stay home if possible.”
Sounds more like a winter storm message than a bulletin on the unofficial last day of summer.
The downpour flooded lakes, highway underpasses, creeks, streams and roads.
