Rain shut down a courthouse — what else got wrecked? 🌧️
Good morning, Franklin County. Turns out you don't need a hurricane to cause serious water damage — a few days of heavy rain were enough to shut down the Franklin County courthouse on Monday, with flooded floors forcing Domestic Relations and Juvenile Court to close up shop. And speaking of weather doing its worst, Ohio's National Guard is now deployed to Perry, Muskingum, and Morgan counties after devastating floods tore through the region this weekend. It's been a soggy, sobering stretch for the Buckeye State.
Closer to home, a sexual assault investigation took a tragic turn near Sharon Woods Metro Park on Saturday when an officer-involved shooting occurred — details are still limited as BCI investigates. On the national front, retail sales dipped, a salmonella egg recall has people squinting at their cartons, and fresh local listings are waiting in Real Estate.
