collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.

Lakewood, the town this property stands in, in 29 storm reports between 1998 and 2024: 18 thunderstorm wind, 7 hail, 2 waterspout, 2 flash flood.
The reports record 1 death. 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.
Police in Rocky River reported an ice jam on the Rocky River near the Metropark marina. The ice jam broke free around 1 pm and travelled about 2 miles to the mouth of the river into Lake Erie. The lake had been frozen over, but strong southwest gales were able to break up the mouth of the Rocky River sufficiently to allow the ice jam to move out of the river. Numerous docks and boats were damaged along the river, including a marina in the Metropark.
Thunderstorm winds downed several trees from Lakewood to the west side of Cleveland. A truck was crushed by one of the trees in Lakewood. At least 23,500 utility customers lost power during this event.
A snapped tree fell onto a garage in Lakewood and a tree fell onto a truck about three-miles NNE of Linndale. Farther east along the same straight-line wind damage path, multiple trees were snapped and the roof was torn off a warehouse in the Gordon Square District of Cleveland.
