Friday of last week there were reports of rain fall that accumulated to over 6\u201d of rain. Paulding had standing water rise from Blue Creek and Flat Rock Creek. The fields tiling has increased the volume of water arriving at ditches, creeks and water in a certain amount of time. Housing areas were also flooded and have begun to recede. These amounts were on on top of the  rain amounts received prior to Friday that were also making July one of the wettest months for some of the Paulding County residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paulding County EMA director, Ed Bohn, described a developing occurrence of what is called \u201crain bombs\u201d. That is where three or more inches of rain fall on an area in a quick burst. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flood waters in Paulding County are receding after over six plus inches of rain fell most of Friday into Saturday morning. The Blue Creek and Flatrock Creek impacted a good portion of the Village of Payne and some areas of the village of Paulding, causing flooding in basements and crawl spaces in a number of homes. Area township, county and St. 500 were closed west of US 127. Residents in the village of Payne sand bagged their properties, thanks to the Paulding County Engineer\u2019s Office and Benton Twp. hauling loads of sand and providing the sand bags to those in need. For more information contact the Paulding County EMA office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next 10 day forecast does not look near as wet as the previous week. Perhaps farmers will be able to get the standing wheat harvested. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
