The Great Flood of 2007

As Kyle points out in an email this morning, it's not on the scale of Hurricane Katrina (the anniversary of which we mark today), but the flooding across north central and northwest Ohio has spread devastation and suffering through at least eight counties.

Local chapters of the Ohio Red Cross have opened shelters for hundreds of people who evacuated their flooded homes. Over 700 Red Cross disaster workers are serving hot meals and snacks, as well as distributing clean up supplies and comfort kits to affected residents.
