Storms near this property

49 since 1997

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Maumee, the town this property stands in, in 49 storm reports between 1997 and 2023: 26 hail, 19 thunderstorm wind, 2 flash flood, 1 heavy rain. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.

WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
July 2008Flash FloodMaumee$2,500,000Very heavy rainfall started across Lucas County around 7:30 pm, with the heaviest rain falling between 8 pm and 9 pm, and then again between 12:30 am and 1:30 am. Rainfall totals in the area included 5.00 inches at the intersection of I-475 and US 23, 4.31 inches in Sylvania, 3.70 inches at the Toledo airport, and 3.39 inches in Point Place. Widespread flooding resulted, with many cars stranded citywide in underpasses and along flooded streets. Flooding occurred in neighborhoods along several area drainages, including Shantee Creek, Swan Creek, and Heldman Ditch. Over 100 basements were flooded from the excess runoff, and the Oregon municipal building was completely surrounded by water.
March 2015FloodMaumee$1,300,000On March 12th an ice jam formed on the Maumee River in Maumee Ohio. The river was frozen from Maumee to the mouth of the river at Lake Erie. The ice jam and subsequent water rises caused the Side Cut Metropark to close and experience record flooding. The road between Jerome Road and an access road east of Riverside Cemetery was damaged by the moving ice and needed repairs. In Maumee the Side Cut Metropark sustained around $50,000 in damages. The Riverside Cemetery is estimated to have sustained $1 million in damages. In Monclova the ice jams damaged two homes on North River Road. These homes sustained damage from the ice to their decks and exterior. Only one of the two homes had water inundation into the interior. The waste water treatment plant was impacted by the ice and rising river levels and had to bring in pumps to keep operations going.
August 2023Flash FloodMaumee$75,000Heavy rainfall caused extensive flooding of roadways in the Toledo metro area. Some flooded locations included Secor Road near Sylvania Avenue and also south of Central Avenue, and portions of Interstate 475. Multiple reports of cars being stranded due to driving into flooded roadways. Lower level apartment flooding was also reported in South Toledo. Radar estimates and measured rainfall reports indicated 2.25 to 3 inches of rain fell, primarily in a two hour period.
