Storms Pound Ohio, Leave Region Flooded

TOLEDO, Ohio — Several towns were under flood warnings Thursday after powerful storms raced across the upper Midwest, toppling trees and power lines and bringing so much rain that one community was split in two by flooding. Five inches of rain fell in a five-hour span in the Toledo area Wednesday night, tornadoes were reported in Michigan, and 56 mph wind gusts and golf ball-size hail pelted northern Ohio, the National Weather Service said. In Pennsylvania, two firefighters were injured fighting an apartment fire apparently started by lightning as the storm moved eastward. The region wasn't in the clear yet, though: Another storm system was moving across the region Thursday evening, damaging buildings and bringing what forecasters said could be up to 3 inches of rain. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,200543,00.html
