Flooding and damage left behind by Monday night stormsBy Jarrod AllenMonday NEW LEXINGTON, Ohio — Nearly an hour of continuous downpours and relentless lightning brought flooding, downed trees and power outages to parts of Perry Countynight. South and east of New Lexington, radar showed a training effect of storms dumping rain over the same area for more than an hour while a similar line of storms poured rain over Fultonham and Roseville in Muskingum County, and Deavertown in Morgan County. I have never seen it like this,” said Marvin Blosser, whose home has stood near the headwaters of the Moxahala Creek near Bristol in Perry County for nearly a century. Decades ago, the Blosser family used a wooden bridge to access their home and later replaced it with a metal culvert. Moxahala Creek flows downstream through Moxahala, Crooksville, Roseville and near Avondale before merging with Jonathan Creek and emptying into the Muskingum River near State Route 555.
