Severe weather in Northeast Ohio: Thursday's storms leave flooding, damage, outages, canceled events

Severe storms and weather moved their way through most of Northeast Ohio on Thursday evening, battering the area with high winds, hail, and plenty of rainfall.
While parts of Medina, Wayne, and Stark Counties were under a tornado warning during the storm, other areas contended with flooding. The central portion of Cuyahoga County was under a flash flood warning for several hours. The high water made for difficult traffic conditions in certain areas.
The Ohio Department of Transportation reports that the ramp from I-480 west to SR 237 south near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is closed due to flooding. Please avoid the area.
The storm also caused thousands of Northeast Ohio residents to lose power as tree damage and downed lines have been seen all across the area.
