| February 2011 | Flood | Lakeville | $300,000 | Heavy rain and rapid snow melt led to widespread flooding across Holmes County. Rainfall totals across the county ranged from one to three inches on February 27th and 28th. Up to ten inches of heavy snow was on the ground at the onset of the rain. This snow rapidly melted as temperatures warmed into the 50s on the 28th. Up to an additional inch of water equivalent rainfall was released from the melted snow. Hundreds of homes in the county sustained damage, mainly from basement flooding. Many roads had to be closed because of the flooding. The Killbuck Creek crested at 18.07 feet, the eight highest height on record. South end of Millersburg and western portions of the Killbuck sustained flood damage. |

Around sixty trees and thirty one power poles were reported down at the campground. A pontoon boat was also flipped over. The downburst continued east from the campground and moved through the Lakeville area where it downed dozens of trees and damaged several buildings. The damage path continued east to Holmesville where four apartment buildings and a business lost large sections of roof. Several hundred trees were downed in northern Holmes County from this downburst which produced winds estimated to be nearly 70 mph. Widespread power outages were reported. |
