Sherwood Slammed Again

    Sherwood Ohio was again in the wrath of Mother Nature's furry as storms rolled through the area Sunday evening. Storms came through Sherwood about 6pm dumping more rain on already saturated ground. Straight line winds of  better than 80mph caused downed tree limbs, and power lines. The entire Village was in the dark. Several people in town reported flooded basements, downed trees and power lines and a good washing. Flood waters closed St.Rt.18, Rolland Rd., south of town there was better than 18" of water holed up at the entrance of the ballpark slowing traffic on U.S.127. Sherwood Ohio slammed again!

     Although the flood results were not as bad as the storm a year ago, for some, the results were the same. Village Pizza on the north end of town was taking on water, TC and Sons sat with their pant legs rolled up, ready for action, as flood waters crept up in the Super Center, Heritage Dr. in the Sherwood Crossing Development was also flooded, the Methodist Church had to be pumped out with aid from the Sherwood Fire Department, as well as several others, mine included. Looked like the wind damage was more on the south side of town and water everywhere. Most power in the Sherwood area was restored by 9 pm, but a few others had to wait till the limbs could be removed from power lines. Sure hope this doesn't become a habit. Take a look at the photos and you decide.
