Six weeks after the storm hit Northeast Ohio, new security camera footage from Cleveland offers a raw glimpse into its power. The video shows intense rain that becomes almost blinding, and ferocious winds bending trees like they were twigs. City streets turn into rivers as vehicles struggle through deep water. The storm's impact was severe, with significant damage to homes and even Hopkins Airport losing power. In Brook Park, the damage is still being assessed. Earlier reports revealed that a tornado ripped off the roof of their recreation center. Chris Wetmore, the Recreation Director, shared that repairs are ongoing, but the extent of the damage is massive—estimated at over $8 million. Despite this, there's a sense of relief that no injuries or fatalities were reported.
The storm’s fury was brief but intense. Officials in Brook Park noted that the severe weather lasted only about two minutes but caused millions of dollars in damage. The new footage also captures emergency crews rushing to calls, highlighting the immediate response needed. Cleveland is still calculating the total cost and has asked residents to report any storm damage. It's unclear yet what State or Federal aid will be available for repairs. This new video offers a fresh perspective on the raw power of Northeast Ohio’s severe weather.
