We’ve had about 7 inches of rain here in the Cincinnati area since Wednesday night. The Ohio River is now above well above flood stage.
My house is approximately 4 miles north of the river. Closer to the river, there are evacuations and some roads are closed. A handful of river towns in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky have been evacuated.
Luckily, my sump pump did the job and my basement stayed dry. Prior to Wednesday night’s initial round of storms, I mowed both my lawn and my dad’s lawn.
According to the weather forecast, this period of extended rain is over. So now it’s just a matter of waiting for the world to dry out. I’ve had more than enough rain until…August, thank you very much.
