Several parts of Trumbull County experienced flash flooding on Sunday June 14 into the early morning hours of the 15th. The airmass was saturated with a very high rainfall efficiency. A thunderstorm complex moved into southern Trumbull County around 4 pm and lasting through 6 pm. The heaviest rain fell around 5 pm with rates estimated over 5 inches per hour according the NWS Doppler Radar. An observation by the US Army Corps of Engineers at nearby Mosquito Lake measured 3.79 of rain for that day. The deluge resulted in evacuations of at least 4 people from Champion Township due to flooding of several inches in an apartment building. In Warren portions of Niles Road S.E. was damaged by flowing water that was too much for the citys storm drain system. A restaurant was damaged by flood waters and a malls parking lot flooded resulting in flooded cars. A separate office building was damaged from flood waters entering the first floor. A second round of showers came in after 8 pm which just exasperated flood conditions despite only dropping a few hundredths of an inch of rainfall though rates were around 3.5 per hour. A few rain gauge readings from the area: USACE Mosquito Creek 3.95, USGS Leavittsburg gauge 3.29.
