Tropical Storm Toledo

Ooof! Toledo has gotten a lot of rain this summer, but Tropical Storm Toledo was a doozie! I believe the final 24 hour accumulation for Perrysburg was 4+ inches. The entire river was flooded, almost as bad as I have ever seen it, the fields were flooded, there was just water everywhere. The lake front took 40mph winds and driving rain for almost 24 hours straight. The Maumee was so high and the current was so strong, it tore off the boat docks (with boats attached) in Perrysburg. The surface current was somewhere around 18-20mph. The photos below are the remnants of the docks. They caught the majority of the boats about 2 miles down river.
