number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.

Stark County Sheriff and North Canton Police reported flash flooding across North Canton. River levels on Zimber Ditch and West Branch Nimishillen Creek rose 5.5 feet in one hour, reaching flood stage by 730 PM EDT. Flood waters from Zimber Ditch entered businesses along Whipple Avenue NW. Reports of more than one dozen homes with several feet of water into basements throughout North Canton. Per local media, county officials estimated the number of homes and businesses impacted by flooding was in the hundreds. Radar estimated rainfall totals of 2.5 to 4 inches fell in the northern portion of North Canton in one hour, with peak instantaneous rainfall rates of 5 to 6 inches per hour.
A thunderstorm downburst with wind gusts estimated to be as much as 70 mph caused damage in Plain and Lake Township in northern Stark County. The downburst began in a residential development south of Mount Pleasant Street in Plain Township. At least a dozen trees were uprooted or snapped between Fox Run Avenue NW and Peachmont Avenue NW. Additional tree and structural damage was noted between the intersection of Mount Pleasant Street NW and Peachmont Avenue NW to Stonebridge Avenue NW in Lake Township. This damage continued east to Rolling Hill Avenue NW where the damage ended. There were over a dozen homes damaged with most of the damage in the form of lost shingles or siding. Most of this damage occurred on the southern and western sides of the homes.
Multiple flooded roadways with several feet of standing water and some cars stranded. Reports of some roadways with flowing water over them. Some roads experiencing flooding include Whipple Avenue NW, Belden Village Street NW, and Mount Pleasant Street NW near I-77. Zimber Ditch in North Canton reached 4 feet around 10 AM EDT to the 9.5 foot flood stage at 12 PM EDT, cresting at 10.43 feet at 2:45 PM EDT. Radar estimated and gauge measured rainfall of 4 to 4.25 inches in a two to three hour period caused the flash flooding.

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.
