A storm system on Aug. 11 brought destructive wind damage across the region, with microburst winds reaching 90 to 100 mph, according to storm surveys by the National Weather Service in Wilmington. During the morning storm, a tornado touched down in South Columbus, traveling 1.8 miles with 100 mph winds. The tornado ripped off roofs and siding while knocking down trees and power lines. A total of 10 tornadoes struck Ohio that day, contributing to 15 confirmed tornadoes across the state during August and bringing the yearly total to 40.

Heavy rainfall accompanied the severe weather throughout the month. At John Glenn Columbus International Airport, measurable rain was recorded on 14 out of 16 days between Aug. 7 and Aug. 22. On Aug. 20, a 24-hour storm dropped 3.87 inches of rain at the airport, setting a new August single-day record.

By the end of the first three weeks of August, total rainfall in Columbus reached 9.94 inches, far exceeding the typical monthly average of 3.74 inches. It ranks as the second-wettest August in the city’s recorded history, behind only August 2003, which saw 11.42 inches.

The deluge caused severe flooding across central and southeastern Ohio. In Perry County, Crooksville received 7.67 inches of rain, triggering its worst flood conditions since June 1950. High water also disrupted major transportation routes, forcing the closure of both eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 70 on Aug. 21.

Weather conditions are expected to cool and dry out, allowing swollen creeks, rivers, and saturated ground across Franklin County and surrounding areas to gradually recover.

Roobab iyo Duufaanno Record ah oo Saameeyay Badhtamaha Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Gobolka Ohio, gaar ahaan badhtamaha iyo koonfurta gobolka, ayaa bishii Ogosto waxaa ku dhuftay sturmo daran oo wata roobab taariikhi ah, dabaylo xooggan iyo duufaanno sababay fatahaado waaweyn oo xiray jidadka gaadiidka.

Duufaannadii dhacay 11-kii Ogosto ayaa dhibaatadii ugu darrayd ka geystay deegaanka. Hay’adda National Weather Service in Wilmington ayaa xaqiijisay in dabaylo xawaarahoodu gaarayay 90 ilaa 100 mph ay ka dhaceen gobolka. Koonfurta Columbus, duufaan nooca tornado ah ayaa martay masaafo dhan 1.8 mayl iyadoo wadata dabaylo 100 mph ah, taas oo dumisay saqafyada guriyaha, dhirtana baabi’isay. Maantaas oo kaliya waxaa Ohio ka dhacay 10 duufaan, taas oo bishii Ogosto ka dhigtay 15 duufaan, iyadoo tirada guud ee sannadkan ka dhacday gobolka ay gaartay 40.

Roobab badan oo isdaba joog ah ayaa saameeyay deegaanka bisha oo dhan. Garoonka diyaaradaha ee John Glenn Columbus International Airport ayaa laga diiwaangaliyay roob 14 ka mid ah 16 maalmood oo u dhexaysay 7-dii ilaa 22-kii Ogosto. Taariikhda 20-kii Ogosto, garoonka ayaa helay 3.87 inji oo roob ah muddo 24 saac gudahood ah, taas oo dhigtay rekor cusub oo bisha Ogosto ah.

Saddexdii toddobaad ee ugu horreysay bishii Ogosto, tirada guud ee roobka ka da’ay Columbus ayaa gaartay 9.94 inji, iyadoo marka caadiga ah bishaas ay ka da’i jirtay 3.74 inji oo kaliya. Tani waxay noqotay bishii labaad ee ugu roobka badnayd taariikhda magaalada, oo ay ka sarrayso oo kaliya bishii Ogosto ee sannadkii 2003 oo ay ka da’een 11.42 inji.

Fatahaadaha ka dhashay roobabkan ayaa saameyn daran ku yeeshay deegaanno badan. Magaalada Crooksville oo ka tirsan Perry County ayaa heshay 7.67 inji oo roob ah, taas oo sababtay fatahaaddii ugu darrayd ee deegaankaas ka dhacda tan iyo 16-kii Juun 1950. Sidoo kale, biyaha faraha badan ayaa 21-kii Ogosto lagu qasbay in lagu xiro waddada weyn ee Interstate 70 labadeeda dhinacba.

Hada waxaa la filayaa in hawadu ay qabowdo oo ay qalasho, taas oo u oggolaanaysa wabiyada iyo dhulka biyuhu fariisteen ee Franklin County iyo deegaannada ku dhow inay si tartiib-tantiib ah uga soo kabsadaan biyaha.
