The 1900 Galveston hurricane

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Galveston_hurricane

Midwest

The storm maintained tropical characteristics and Saffir-Simpson Category A tropical storm strength winds (39–50 mph) when it crossed the Upper Midwest, with more than four inches/10 cm /100 mm of rain being reported over most of the southern third of Wisconsin. Wind created problems all over including over Lake Michigan, and other areas in the path of the storm had similar problems. Tropical storms reach Wisconsin and surrounding areas to the east, west, and south once every 50 years on average with others in the 19th century, 1961, and (subject to debate) Hurricane Ike, with tropical depressions twice to three times every two years and subtropical storms and depressions equal to or more rare than their tropical counterparts.

DTX wrote a nice narrative about remnant tropical systems for SE albeit a bit dated as it doesn't have some of the 2008 stuff with it.

Also I believe Remnants of Hurricane Dennis moved up into this region back in 2005. Also Remnants of Hugo in 1989 affected the Eastern Lakes/OV region.

I was working in dispatch when Ike moved through............still as of today that was the busiest day hands down I've ever dispatched/worked. It was absolutely crazy.

I can imagine. One of my most memorable non winter meteorological moments. I think Hurricane Ike ended up being the costliest natural disaster for the state of Ohio.

How about Hurricane Frederic in 79? Brought a ton of rain to Central Ohio-I remember it was the only time I remember schools were closed because of rain/flooding . I believe it had the 24 hour rainfall record for some time for Columbus. Also over 7 inches of rain near Akron.

here ya go
