Flood Waters Begin to Recede as Twinsburg Cleans Up

While the National Weather Service has extended the flood warning until 9 p.m. tonight, Twinsburg's Public Works Director said waters are now receding.

"There was flooding all over the city this morning," Chris Campbell said. "Now we're just doing a lot of cleanup."

Campbell said they placed high-water signs in streets throughout the city to warn drivers of the flooding conditions including the intersections of Ravenna and Shepherd roads, Darrow Road and Creekside Drive and on East Idlewood Drive.

Campbell said road crews are out cleaning up stones and debris material that were carried into the streets by the flood waters.

"We're in the mode of cleaning up at this point," he said. "The waters seem to be receding now."

High water is apparent at the Valley Center Park ballfields, which Tinkers Creek flows through. Entrance to the the walkway has been taped off because of the flooded-over banks.

The NWS warns that more heavy rainfall is possible and could cause more flooding of small creeks and streams.

AkronNewsNow reported earlier today that a Twinsburg woman was rescued by a Sheriff's deputy from her car, floating in the middle of an intersection at Northfield Town Center. She was treated for hypothermia at Akron General Hospital.
