You thought 54 million gallons of rain that fell on Ada on Tuesday was a lot, well, Friday morning brought TWICE that amount.

Another tropical-like deluge found near!y 3 inches of rain falling on the Village, or about 100 million gallons.
Converted to weight, that's 800 millions of pounds.
Friday's storm was accompanied by it's fair share of thunder and lightening, as well. The electric went out briefly about half a dozen times.
Grass Run Creek is about the only waterway in town since, fortunately, Ada sits a little higher than neighboring land. There are no rivers to cause flooding.
Also, Ada is near the divide with rain just south of us going to the Gulf of Mexico while rain north of Ada heads to Lake Erie. Water in town drains more rapidly than in other places, but so much of it the past few weeks is unwelcome, except for fish and ducks.

Water is knocking at the front door at this house on State Route 81 in Ada. Brice Pitney wades through the mess.
Picnic in Ada Railroad Depot Park anyone? Maybe not today, unless you are barefoot and wearing a swim suit. Perhaps watercrest is on the menu.
