Although much of northeastern Oklahoma received
above normal precipitation during the month of
July, southeastern Oklahoma received well below
normal precipitation for the month. In fact,
some locations in southeastern Oklahoma
received less than one tenth of an inch of
rain. The persistent dry weather as well as the
extremely hot conditions that the region
experienced during the month helped return
the southeastern portion of Oklahoma, generally
south of the Arkansas River, to severe drought
(D2) conditions by the end of the month.
Extreme drought (D3) conditions had returned to
that portion of southeastern Oklahoma south of
the Canadian River by the end of the month.

The drought continued through the month of
July across the area despite rainfall in
some places. The drought conditions actually
worsened across the area by the end of the
month. At the beginning of the month the
drought conditions were mainly in the severe
(D2) category with parts of western Oklahoma
in the extreme (D3) drought category. By the
end of the month the entire area had worsened
to an extreme (D3) drought. The ongoing drought
conditions continued to cause problems in the
agriculture community. Crops continued to be
affected by the dry conditions with those crops
planted in spring showing signs of problems.
The state continued to be considered a disaster
area due to the drought conditions. Low levels
or no level of water in farm ponds and the lack
of hay and damaged pasture continued to affect
farmers and ranchers across the area. Farmers
and ranchers continued to sell all or part of
their animal herds to alleviate the problem.
The dry conditions also increased the
fire danger across the area. Several fires
were reported with less than a few hundred
acres burned per fire. Some of the fires
were believed to have been started by
lightning. A burn ban had also been issued
for the area. The lack of water continued to
cause communities to institute voluntary
or mandatory water rationing programs. The
recreation community has also been affected
with lake levels so low boat ramps and docks
were on dry land. The low lake levels had also
caused some boating accidents due to debris on
the lake floor being closer to the surface than
usual. Low water levels along with very hot
temperatures were believed to be the cause of
of several fish kills across the area. One
fish kill was noted at the Deep Fork River in
Lincoln county. The fish were seen from north
of the town of Sparks all the way to the
Oklahoma county line. Large fish were seen
dead. However, no frogs, crayfish or turtles
were noted to be affected. Another fish kill
occurred in Hughes county along the Canadian
River. Several hundred carp were found dead in
this area.
The heat combined with drought conditions also
contributed to a train derailment near Ada in
Pontotoc county. Ten, mainly empty, rail cars
derailed Friday July 21st at around 1530 CDT.
The rail cars were believed to have been turned
over due to ground separation brought on by the
dry and hot conditions.

Temperatures reached triple digits across the
area starting in mid-July and continued through
the end of the month. Many locations at times
reached 105 degrees of greater with higher heat
index values. Overnight lows remained warm for
much of this time also with most location only
falling to 75 degrees or higher. The heat caused
10 fatalities across the area during this time
period. Many fatalities occurred in homes that
did not have fans or working air conditioners.
Two men and three women died in the Oklahoma
City metro area. One man was found dead on the
northeast side of the city in his home where
the air conditioner was broken. Another man
died mowing his lawn at his home in the town of
Harrah. A woman in The Village was found dead
in her house where the A/C was not turned on.
Another women was found dead in her home on the
southwest side of the city. Her home did not
have an air conditioner or fans. A third woman
died at her home where the air conditioner was
broken. In Mooreland in Woodward county, a
woman died outside when she went to check on
the water levels at a pond on her property.
The woman fell and broke her hip which kept her
from getting back to her home. Two people in
Chickasha in Grady county died. The man was
found dead in his home that did not have any
air conditioning. A women had spent the day
outside with friends. She then collapsed at her
home which did not have air conditioning. In
Lindsay in Garvin county, two people also died.
One woman died in her home where the air
conditioner was not running. A second woman
was found dead on a dirt road near her home.
She was walking from one home to another
when she collapsed and eventually died. The
paramedic services also made numerous calls
for heat-related illnesses during this time.
The heat also caused a portion of Interstate
44, on the west side of Oklahoma City, to
buckle. The heat also caused a strain on
several power grids causing local authorities
to ask for people to minimize the consumption
of power during the hottest parts of the day
to prevent brown outs.

TROPICAL STORM EWINIAR
Tropical Depression (TD) 04W developed on the
morning of June 30th, about 225 miles south-
southeast of Yap and 165 miles southeast of
Ngulu. As TD 04W moved northwest during the
day, it intensified only slightly, and by 2200
SST that evening it was centered about 125
miles south of Yap and 80 miles south-southeast
of Ngulu, with maximum sustained winds of 35
mph. At that point, TO 04W turned northward and
intensified into Tropical Storm Ewiniar, with
maximum sustained winds of 60 mph by 0400 SST on
July 1st. Ewiniar maintained its 60 mph
intensity as it passed 15 miles east of Ngulu at
0900 SST on the 1st, and 55 miles southwest of
Yap at 1200 SST. After passing Yap, Ewiniar
turned back to a more northwest track, and by
1000 SST on the 2nd it was centered about 190
miles west-northwest of Yap with maximum
sustained winds at 65 mph.
During its passage on the 1st, Ewiniar brought
several hours of tropical storm conditions to
Ngulu and Yap. At the Yap Weather Service
Office, the highest 1-minute wind and the peak
gust were 46 mph and 61 mph respectively, from
the southeast at 1132 SST. The lowest sea-level
pressure of 999.5 mb occurred a short time
later, at 1159 SST. The rainfall with Ewiniar
was relatively light. In the 24 hours ending at
2200 SST on the 1st, which included Ewiniar's
passage by Yap, only 0.68 inches of rain was
recorded. The following day, as Ewiniar moved
away from Yap, a cluster of heavy showers on the
storm's southeast periphery dropped 1.71 inches
of rain in the 24 hours ending at 2200 SST on
the 2nd. Ewiniar's storm surge, augmented by a
long fetch of southwesterly monsoon winds,
reached 8 feet at Yap's southern tip, and 5 to
6 feet in Colonia. No observations were
available from Ngulu, but conditions were
likely similar to those experienced on Yap,
with slightly higher winds.
The storm surge knocked down newly-installed
road guards and flooded several buildings in
Colonia. The surge also shoved a large boat
into a tide gauge, totally destroying the
gauge and its building. There was no wind
damage to structures, since most buildings
were strengthened following Typhoon Sudal in
April 2004. The surge resulted in $100,000
in damage, while it is estimated that wind
and salt spray did a few thousands of dollars
in damage to local crops.

closures reported in Trumbull, Geneva,
Saybrook, Morgan, Austinburg and Monroe
Townships. Around 40 homes in the
county suffered major damage from
flooding with dozens more sustaining
lesser damages. Most of these were
in Jefferon, Austinburg and Geneva
Townships. Damage to roads, bridges,
culverts and other public
infrastructure from the flash flooding
events of July 22nd and 28th totaled

Heavy thunderstorm rains fell on
Summit County during the late
afternoon and early evening hours of
July 31st. An automated sensor at the
Akron Fulton Airport measured a storm
total of 3.84 inches of rain. Of this
total, 2.14 inches fell between 3 and
4 p.m. with another 1.41 inches
between 4 and 5 p.m. A spotter in
Cuyahoga Falls measured an inch of
rain during an eight minute period
just before 5 p.m. A storm total of
around 6 inches was measured in
Lakemore. Significant urban flooding
occurred across the county as sewer
systems quickly became overwhelmed.
Runoff from the rain also caused rapid
rises in area streams and rivers. The
Akron, Tallmadge, Cuyahoga Falls and
Lakemore areas were especially hard
hit as dozens of roads including
Interstates 76 and 77 became flooded.
Hundreds of homes were damaged by
flooding and numerous vehicles were
stranded in the flood waters which
were up to three deep at some
locations. The worst flooding in the
county occurred in Lakemore and
surrounding Springfield Township.
About three quarters of the streets in
the village were flooded. Front Street
was closed for 12 blocks and was
reported to be flowing like a "river."
Significant flooding also occurred on
Lakeside Drive, Lake Road, Sanitarium
Road, First Street, Seventh Street,
Seneca Trail, Pawnee Boulevard, Main
Street, Meadows Drive, Chelsea Drive
and Michaels Drive. Around 50 homes
had to be evacuated in Lakemore where
two homes were classified as being
destroyed. Another 10 homes in

Although much of northeastern Oklahoma received
above normal precipitation during the month of
July, southeastern Oklahoma received well below
normal precipitation for the month. In fact,
some locations in southeastern Oklahoma
received less than one tenth of an inch of
rain. The persistent dry weather as well as the
extremely hot conditions that the region
experienced during the month helped return
the southeastern portion of Oklahoma, generally
south of the Arkansas River, to severe drought
(D2) conditions by the end of the month.

The drought continued through the month of
July across the area despite rainfall in
some places. The drought conditions actually
worsened across the area by the end of the
month. At the beginning of the month the
drought conditions were mainly in the severe
(D2) category with parts of western Oklahoma
in the extreme (D3) drought category. By the
end of the month the entire area had worsened
to an extreme (D3) drought. The ongoing drought
conditions continued to cause problems in the
agriculture community. Crops continued to be
affected by the dry conditions with those crops
planted in spring showing signs of problems.
The state continued to be considered a disaster
area due to the drought conditions. Low levels
or no level of water in farm ponds and the lack
of hay and damaged pasture continued to affect
farmers and ranchers across the area. Farmers
and ranchers continued to sell all or part of
their animal herds to alleviate the problem.
The dry conditions also increased the
fire danger across the area. Several fires
were reported with less than a few hundred
acres burned per fire. Some of the fires
were believed to have been started by
lightning. A burn ban had also been issued
for the area. The lack of water continued to
cause communities to institute voluntary
or mandatory water rationing programs. The
recreation community has also been affected
with lake levels so low boat ramps and docks
were on dry land. The low lake levels had also
caused some boating accidents due to debris on
the lake floor being closer to the surface than
usual. Low water levels along with very hot
temperatures were believed to be the cause of
of several fish kills across the area. One
fish kill was noted at the Deep Fork River in
Lincoln county. The fish were seen from north
of the town of Sparks all the way to the
Oklahoma county line. Large fish were seen
dead. However, no frogs, crayfish or turtles
were noted to be affected. Another fish kill
occurred in Hughes county along the Canadian
River. Several hundred carp were found dead in
this area.
The heat combined with drought conditions also
contributed to a train derailment near Ada in
Pontotoc county. Ten, mainly empty, rail cars
derailed Friday July 21st at around 1530 CDT.
The rail cars were believed to have been turned
over due to ground separation brought on by the
dry and hot conditions.

Tropical Depression (TD) 04W developed on the
morning of June 30th, about 225 miles south-
southeast of Yap and 165 miles southeast of
Ngulu. As TD 04W moved northwest during the
day, it intensified only slightly, and by 2200
SST that evening it was centered about 125
miles south of Yap and 80 miles south-southeast
of Ngulu, with maximum sustained winds of 35
mph. At that point, TO 04W turned northward and
intensified into Tropical Storm Ewiniar, with
maximum sustained winds of 60 mph by 0400 SST on
July 1st. Ewiniar maintained its 60 mph
intensity as it passed 15 miles east of Ngulu at
0900 SST on the 1st, and 55 miles southwest of
Yap at 1200 SST. After passing Yap, Ewiniar
turned back to a more northwest track, and by
1000 SST on the 2nd it was centered about 190
miles west-northwest of Yap with maximum
sustained winds at 65 mph.
During its passage on the 1st, Ewiniar brought
several hours of tropical storm conditions to
Ngulu and Yap. At the Yap Weather Service
Office, the highest 1-minute wind and the peak
gust were 46 mph and 61 mph respectively, from
the southeast at 1132 SST. The lowest sea-level
pressure of 999.5 mb occurred a short time
later, at 1159 SST. The rainfall with Ewiniar
was relatively light. In the 24 hours ending at
2200 SST on the 1st, which included Ewiniar's
passage by Yap, only 0.68 inches of rain was
recorded. The following day, as Ewiniar moved
away from Yap, a cluster of heavy showers on the
storm's southeast periphery dropped 1.71 inches
of rain in the 24 hours ending at 2200 SST on
the 2nd. Ewiniar's storm surge, augmented by a
long fetch of southwesterly monsoon winds,
reached 8 feet at Yap's southern tip, and 5 to
6 feet in Colonia. No observations were
available from Ngulu, but conditions were
likely similar to those experienced on Yap,
with slightly higher winds.
The storm surge knocked down newly-installed
road guards and flooded several buildings in
Colonia. The surge also shoved a large boat
into a tide gauge, totally destroying the
gauge and its building. There was no wind
damage to structures, since most buildings
were strengthened following Typhoon Sudal in
April 2004. The surge resulted in $100,000
in damage, while it is estimated that wind
and salt spray did a few thousands of dollars
in damage to local crops.

Countywide Flood
Thunderstorms dumped 6 to 10 inches of
rain on Lake County on July 27 and
28th. Runoff from this rain caused
widespread flooding across the county.
Rapid rises in all streams and creeks
in the county occurred. Over 3,000
homes and business are believed to
have been damaged by flooding. The
River at Painesville rose from around
2 feet early on the 27th to a crest of
17.36 feet around 5 a.m. on the 28th.
Flood stage is 8.0 feet and the
previous record stage was 13.1 feet set
in 1979. The river remained above
flood stage until July 31st. At
Eastlake, the Chagrin River rose from
just under 4 feet to a stage of 14.77
feet around 4:30 am on the 28th.
Smaller streams in the county also
remained in flood for several days.

Countywide Flash Flood
Geauga County
North Portion Flash Flood
Heavy thunderstorm rains fell on
northern Geauga County during the

rainfall totals from this period
included: 6.51 inches southwest of
Thompson; 5.11 inches near Chardon;
3.53 inches in Chesterland and 2.83
inches in Burton. Runoff from this
rain caused rapid rises in area
streams and rivers. Flooding was
reported throughout northern Geauga
County, but the worst damage occurred
in Thompson and Claridon Townships. In
Thompson Township, Talcott Creek went
into flood and damaged many homes.
A bridge on Moseley Road was heavily
damaged. A house on Clay Street was
destroyed after flood waters flowed
through it. A total of 25 homes
suffered major damage in Thompson
Township with another 50 homes
sustaining lesser damages. In Claridon
Township, flood waters from overflowing
Lake Aquilla damaged several homes on
the east side of Aquilla Village.
Many roads in the northern end of the
county had to be closed because of
flooding. Several hundred homes in the
county also suffered basement flooding.
Lake County
Countywide Flash Flood
After a brief lull, heavy thunderstorm
rains resumed just after midnight and
devastating flash flood quickly
developed. As much as three inches of
rain fell between 12:30 and 2:30 a.m.
By daybreak on the 28th, as much of 10
inches of rain had fallen on portions
of Lake County since the first
thunderstorms developed during the
afternoon hours of the 27th. Rainfall
totals included: 9.70 inches in Mentor;
7.95 inches in Concord; 6.89 inches in
Kirtland; 6.30 inches just south of
Painesville and 5.50 inches in Madison.
Nearly every community in Lake County
was hard hit by flooding. A 51 year
old man disappeared around 2 a.m.
while trying to move vehicles from
flood waters at an Eastlake marina.
He was later found deceased along a
beach in Mentor. Thousands of homes
were damaged and hundreds of people
had to be evacuated. Widespread
evacuations began in Painesville and
Madison between 3 and 4 a.m. In
Painesville, the Grand River rose from
a stage of 2 feet on the morning of
the 27th to 17.36 feet around 5 a.m.
on the 28th establishing a new record
stage. The old record stage was 13.1
feet set in 1979. Damage along the
river was catastrophic and homes
along Main Street, Millstone Drive,
Gristmill Drive, Steele Avenue and
Grand River Avenue were devastated.
A total of 81 homes were destroyed on
these streets with dozens more heavily
damaged. Around 600 people had to
evacuated from homes along the Grand
River and approximately 25 people
had to be rescued by boat from
rooftops after flood waters climbed
into the second floors of their homes.
Several other people had to be rescued
by helicopter because the flood waters
were flowing too fast to allow boat
rescues. In Madison Township, around
1200 people were evacuated from a
mobile home park as flood waters began
to encroach their neighborhhod. Dozens
of homes and business in the area
sustained damaged, much of it caused
by flooding from the Grand River.
State Route 84 was washed out by a
creek near the Perry and Madison
Township border. Up to 70 boats and
large sections of piers were torn
loose along the Grand River and washed
into Lake Erie. Many of these boats
were later deposited on beaches
between Fairport Harbor and Madison.
A floating restaurant near the mouth
of the Grand River broke free during
the flooding and sustained considerable
damage. Homes along the mouth of the
river in Fairport Harbor were littered
with debris from damaged homes and
businesses upstream. The Chagrin
River in Eastlake rose from a stage
around 4 feet on the morning of July
27th to 14.77 feet at 4:30 a.m on the
28th. Widespread damage was reported
in both Eastlake and Willoughby
from the resulting flooding.
Significant damage was also reported
in portions of Mentor, Kirtland and
Concord Township. During this event
emergency personnel conducted 41
separate resuce operations involving
around 200 people. Around 3,600
families in Lake County applied for
flood assistance. Approximately 100
homes were destroyed in the county
with another 800 significantly damaged.
Almost all of these homes were
in Painesville, Eastlake, Madison,
Fairport Harbor or Concord Township.
Nearly 200 business were affected by
flooding. Five bridges were destroyed
by flooding and at least eight roads
were washed out. Several bridges and
many other roads were also damaged.
Two sewer plants sustained significant
damage. Damage to roads, bridges and
other public infrastructure has been
conservatively estimated to be around
$15 million. Damage in Lake County
during this event was unprecedented.
The flooding has been tentatively
classified as a 500 year event. M51VE

through the early morning hours of the
28th included: 5.88 inches in Trumbull
Township; 4.30 inches in Geneva; 3.45
inches at New Lyme and 3.33 inches
at Jefferson. Widespread flooding
occurred across the county as runoff
from this rain made it into area
streams and rivers. Coffee Creek went
into flood in Austinburg and caused
extensive damage. At least five homes
in the town were destroyed and another
20 sustained severe damage. Three
homes in Jefferson had water on their
ground floors after a small creek left
it's banks. Flood waters on Hillyer
Drive were reported to be over three
feet deep. At least nine homes in the
Geneva area sustained major damage
after Cowles Creek left it's banks.
Several families in the area had to be
evacuated. Many roads including State
Routes 45, 307 and 46 and U.S. Route
20 had to be closed because of
flooding. In Harpersfield Township,
Cold Springs Road was washed out by
Bronson Creek. At least four roads
were washed out elsewhere in the
county and there were multiple road
closures reported in Trumbull, Geneva,
Saybrook, Morgan, Austinburg and Monroe
Townships. Around 40 homes in the
county suffered major damage from
flooding with dozens more sustaining
lesser damages. Most of these were
in Jefferon, Austinburg and Geneva
Townships. Damage to roads, bridges,
culverts and other public
infrastructure from the flash flooding
events of July 22nd and 28th totaled
nearly $2 million. Crop losses are also
expected to be substantial as standing
water was reported in many areas.

rain during an eight minute period
just before 5 p.m. A storm total of
around 6 inches was measured in
Lakemore. Significant urban flooding
occurred across the county as sewer
systems quickly became overwhelmed.
Runoff from the rain also caused rapid
rises in area streams and rivers. The
Akron, Tallmadge, Cuyahoga Falls and
Lakemore areas were especially hard
hit as dozens of roads including
Interstates 76 and 77 became flooded.
Hundreds of homes were damaged by
flooding and numerous vehicles were

Drought
Although much of northeastern Oklahoma received
above normal precipitation during the month of
July, southeastern Oklahoma received well below
normal precipitation for the month. In fact,
some locations in southeastern Oklahoma
received less than one tenth of an inch of
rain. The persistent dry weather as well as the
extremely hot conditions that the region
experienced during the month helped return
the southeastern portion of Oklahoma, generally
south of the Arkansas River, to severe drought
(D2) conditions by the end of the month.
Extreme drought (D3) conditions had returned to
that portion of southeastern Oklahoma south of
the Canadian River by the end of the month.

Drought
The drought continued through the month of
July across the area despite rainfall in
some places. The drought conditions actually
worsened across the area by the end of the
month. At the beginning of the month the
drought conditions were mainly in the severe
(D2) category with parts of western Oklahoma
in the extreme (D3) drought category. By the
end of the month the entire area had worsened
to an extreme (D3) drought. The ongoing drought
conditions continued to cause problems in the
agriculture community. Crops continued to be
affected by the dry conditions with those crops
planted in spring showing signs of problems.
The state continued to be considered a disaster
area due to the drought conditions. Low levels
or no level of water in farm ponds and the lack
of hay and damaged pasture continued to affect
farmers and ranchers across the area. Farmers
and ranchers continued to sell all or part of
their animal herds to alleviate the problem.
The dry conditions also increased the
fire danger across the area. Several fires
were reported with less than a few hundred
acres burned per fire. Some of the fires
were believed to have been started by
lightning. A burn ban had also been issued
for the area. The lack of water continued to
cause communities to institute voluntary
or mandatory water rationing programs. The
recreation community has also been affected
with lake levels so low boat ramps and docks
were on dry land. The low lake levels had also
caused some boating accidents due to debris on
the lake floor being closer to the surface than
usual. Low water levels along with very hot
temperatures were believed to be the cause of
of several fish kills across the area. One
fish kill was noted at the Deep Fork River in
Lincoln county. The fish were seen from north
of the town of Sparks all the way to the
Oklahoma county line. Large fish were seen
dead. However, no frogs, crayfish or turtles
were noted to be affected. Another fish kill
occurred in Hughes county along the Canadian
River. Several hundred carp were found dead in
this area.
The heat combined with drought conditions also
contributed to a train derailment near Ada in
Pontotoc county. Ten, mainly empty, rail cars
derailed Friday July 21st at around 1530 CDT.
The rail cars were believed to have been turned
over due to ground separation brought on by the
dry and hot conditions.

44, on the west side of Oklahoma City, to
buckle. The heat also caused a strain on
several power grids causing local authorities
to ask for people to minimize the consumption
of power during the hottest parts of the day
to prevent brown outs.

PACIFIC
GUZO02 Micronesia
Tropical Storm
Tropical Depression (TD) 04W developed on the
morning of June 30th, about 225 miles south-
southeast of Yap and 165 miles southeast of
Ngulu. As TD 04W moved northwest during the
day, it intensified only slightly, and by 2200
SST that evening it was centered about 125
miles south of Yap and 80 miles south-southeast
of Ngulu, with maximum sustained winds of 35
mph. At that point, TO 04W turned northward and
intensified into Tropical Storm Ewiniar, with
maximum sustained winds of 60 mph by 0400 SST on
July 1st. Ewiniar maintained its 60 mph
intensity as it passed 15 miles east of Ngulu at
0900 SST on the 1st, and 55 miles southwest of
Yap at 1200 SST. After passing Yap, Ewiniar
turned back to a more northwest track, and by
1000 SST on the 2nd it was centered about 190
miles west-northwest of Yap with maximum
sustained winds at 65 mph.
During its passage on the 1st, Ewiniar brought
several hours of tropical storm conditions to
Ngulu and Yap. At the Yap Weather Service
Office, the highest 1-minute wind and the peak
gust were 46 mph and 61 mph respectively, from
the southeast at 1132 SST. The lowest sea-level
pressure of 999.5 mb occurred a short time
later, at 1159 SST. The rainfall with Ewiniar
was relatively light. In the 24 hours ending at
2200 SST on the 1st, which included Ewiniar's
passage by Yap, only 0.68 inches of rain was
recorded. The following day, as Ewiniar moved
away from Yap, a cluster of heavy showers on the
storm's southeast periphery dropped 1.71 inches
of rain in the 24 hours ending at 2200 SST on
the 2nd. Ewiniar's storm surge, augmented by a
long fetch of southwesterly monsoon winds,
reached 8 feet at Yap's southern tip, and 5 to
6 feet in Colonia. No observations were
available from Ngulu, but conditions were
likely similar to those experienced on Yap,
with slightly higher winds.
The storm surge knocked down newly-installed
road guards and flooded several buildings in
Colonia. The surge also shoved a large boat
into a tide gauge, totally destroying the
gauge and its building. There was no wind
damage to structures, since most buildings
were strengthened following Typhoon Sudal in
April 2004. The surge resulted in $100,000
in damage, while it is estimated that wind
and salt spray did a few thousands of dollars
in damage to local crops.
