filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Intense, short duration rainfall event produced flash flooding in Chagrin Falls. Radar estimated 2 to 2.5 inches of rain fell in a 60 to 90 minute period, with a rain gauge measurement in Chagrin Falls of 2.1 inches of rain in less than one hour. Widespread street flooding was observed, including Solon Road and Monticello Drive near the Chagrin River, South Main Street and South Street in the southern portion of Chagrin Falls, and Bell Street near downtown Chagrin Falls. A few reports of flooded basements due to both flooded creeks and sewer backup.
Torrential rainfall with rates estimated around 3 inches per hour brought a rapid 2 inches of water to southern Cuyahoga County between 300 and 430 PM. Solon Road was closed due to flooding between Eldridge and Randolph in Bedford Heights with over 3 feet of water at the intersection with a few cars stranded. Liberty Road closed due to flooding at Derby Downs but this area is under construction with the road bed lowered and drains covered.

When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
