Did you get rain today? Or did it miss?
Avon Lake photographer Bob Quinlan snapped this photo of boaters trying to get their boats out at Miller Road Park before the rains came.

Meanwhile, residents in Avon reported they received "not one drop." The storm lasted maybe 15 minutes. See something of interest? Add it to our pics & clips gallery.

Walk is Saturday, Sept. 21
It is the sixth leading cause of death in the US and the only disease among the top 10 that cannot be prevented, cured, or even slowed….yet.
