WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
June 2013Flash FloodRoseland$75,000Doppler Radar estimated over two inches of rain had fallen in southern and central Richland County between 430 pm and 600 pm. All Mansfield emergency agencies were called out as flash floods put parts of the city under water, delaying many of the weekends events, shutting down several area roads and even damaging a few. The citys street department reported flooding closed down 12 intersections. All but the Park Avenue East underpass and Fourth Street and Bowman Avenue were opened by 10 p.m. Five vehicles stalled out trying to navigate rising waters at the underpass on Park Avenue East where within 20 minutes the water rose three feet. Fourth Street was blocked off at Bowman Avenue after flooding washed the blacktop down to the brick. The road has been under construction since Thursday. Mulberry Street also was closed at the railroad crossing after the heavy rain popped a piece of metal up off the tracks.
