3.01 inches of rain fell in two days, the most for this week of the year since records began in 1897. The next wettest, 2.84 inches, fell in 1927.
Hannasville’s center stands about 1,260 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,040 ft to 1,620 ft, a difference of 580 ft: hilly country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Round Knob, about 1,640 ft, 7 miles northwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Shenango Formation (sandstone), from the Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old.

Sandstone, conglomerate. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 15 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old. About 6 mi of the line.
Siltstone, shale. Age: Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Hannasville reaches the Gulf of America by way of Warden Run, Sugar Creek, French Creek, the Allegheny, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 2,080 river miles.
970 miles of the trip are on the Ohio.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Hannasville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Hannasville has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 83° in July; winter nights fall to about 18° in January. A normal year brings about 54 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 46 inches of water.
On November 14 Hannasville normally reaches 50° and falls to 32°. The record high is 72°, in 1912; the record low 10°, in 1905. The most rain on this date, 1.54 in, fell in 1972.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1897 at Franklin, 8 miles southeast, 240 ft lower. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
