shows
Lee
Road
in
Shaker
Heights
,
Ohio
during
a
1959
flood
. The
movie
theater
was
badly
damaged
, as were
portions
of
track
and
stations
along
the
rapid
transit
line
.
Shaker
Heights
is
in the
Doan
Brook
watershed
,
which
feeds
the
Shaker
Lakes
before
flowing
through
Rockefeller
Park
in
Cleveland
and into
Lake
Erie
. The
average
dry
weather
flow
of the
Doan
Brook
is
modest
but
development
in
Shaker
Heights
and
other
communities
along
the
watershed
increased
groundwater
discharge
into
storm
sewers
.
Doan
Brook
was
channelized
in
1926
, with
renovations
to the
system
in
1932
and
1955
. On
June
1
,
1959
, a
rainstorm
dropped
3
inches
of
rain
in
one
hour
on the
drainage
basin
. The
result
was a
flood
flowing
10
feet
deep
in
some
areas
.
Shaker
Heights
suffered
dramatic
flooding
,
especially
at the
Chagrin
Boulevard/Lee
Road
intersection
in the
Moreland
neighborhood
.
