WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
July 2011Flash FloodAultman$2,000,000The Nimishillen Creek, a tributary for the Tuscarawas River, reached major flood stage at the gage site in North Industry. For the Nimishillen Creek, the majority of the rainfall fell over the western branch. The west branch sub-watershed begins in Lake Township in northern Stark and near the Akron-Canton Regional Airport in the City of Green in Summit County. Almost five inches of rain fell over the headwaters of the west branch that night, all of which drains into North Canton. A major tributary to the west branch is Zimber Ditch which begins around the Akron-Canton Airport and also flows directly south paralleling I-77 into Jackson Township. Zimber Ditch has experienced more frequent flood problems over the last decade due to continued urban and suburban growth in the basin. Flooding along the Zimber Creek this event was responsible for a significant amount of the flood damage resulting in North Canton and downstream communities. The NWS forecast point for the Nimishillen Creek is located south of Canton in North Industry. By the time this site crested, the flooding was beginning to recede in Canton. By 9:00 AM the reported stage was of 11.14 FT and a flow over 6000 cfs, or major flood category. This was the fifth highest flow for this gage site since records began in 1921. Overal several hundreds of homes and businesses were flooded necessitating evacuations and moving residents into shelters which were opened earlier in response to the excessive heat the day before. A number of water rescues were conducted, but no reports of injuries or fatalities.
November 2017FloodAultman$2,000Two rounds of rain moved over Stark County on the 18th. The first round during the morning produced around an inch to an inch and a half of rainfall. The second round in the afternoon and evening brought an additional inch to inch and a half. Rainfall reports in the county showed around two inches in the north and west, and over three inches in Canton east and south. The resultant flooding was minor in Canton with flooding on the Zimber Ditch where there were reports of some basement flooding on Furbee and Lucille Avenues, with water approaching businesses on Whipple Avenue Northwest. East of Canton in Louisville the East Branch of the Nimishillen Creek came out of banks flooding State Rt. 153 and Constitution Ave. The most notable flooding was in the southeast part of the county where at 10 pm through 3 am water from the Sandy Creek inundated basements and surrounded homes in Waynesburg on Oakhurst, Grovedale, Broadford Streets, and flooding State Rt 183. Rainfall total estimates in this area were close to four inches. Water backed up into a mobile home park on Cleveland Southwest Avenue in Canton Township from the Nimishillen Creek. North Industry High School recreational grounds inundated with several feet of water.
