One family in Clark County saw a tree on their property get struck by lightning during the storms Sunday afternoon, and it fell on their roof after the strike.
The family said they heard a loud boom and saw a white flash of light.
When the husband went to check it out, he saw a tree covering his windows and leaning on the telephone poles near his yard.
Shelby County was hit hard by the rain as well.
One man said he found two inches of standing water in his basement when he went to check the sump pump.
He said he has lived there for 50 years and has never seen this much flooding.
'I had to go down and switch it over to the overflow tile that just comes out into the yard. I got about two inches of water in the basement, which we can manage,' Tom Steinke of Botkins said.
Homeowners are still dealing with the cleanup now, and the family in Clark County has a landscaper coming out later this week to help them out.

Cooling begins Tuesday in Minnesota ahead of quiet stretch
Minnesota is headed for a much-needed break from the intense heat and humidity. Expect highs in the lower 80s on Tuesday with moderate dew points, which will drop by night. Then, winds turn breezy from the northwest, helping usher in cooler, drier air. Some wildfire smoke may also mix in, especially up north. An air quality alert is in effect for the northern half of the state through 11 p.m. on Wednesday. A few isolated showers or weak storms are possible later on, mainly in southern Minnesota during the afternoon and overnight hours. A quiet, pleasant stretch begins midweek, with sunshine and highs in the upper 70s through Friday.

Massive water main break shuts down Homestead Duquesne Road in West Mifflin
A massive water main break has led to Homestead Duquesne Road in West Mifflin being shut down. The West Mifflin #2 Volunteer Fire Company said that Homestead Duquesne Road was closed between Bettis Road and Lower Bull Run Road due to a water main break. Photos of the water main break shared by the fire department showed a large amount of water flooding the road and pouring into a nearby creek. Pennsylvania American Water said the break happened around midnight on Monday night and that customers in the area may experience low or no pressure. It's unclear how many homes could be impacted by the break. "Please don't come here to see it, there are photos on Facebook," the fire department said.
