Sure looks like you got hit bad. Yeah, the forecasts don't look good at all. With the exception of 1-2 days' off, the next 7 days predict mostly rain.

Yessir! The current rain has begun to reverse the recession of the flood waters on 01-07-05. To wit:

Time-level:
3:00PM-43.04'[crested-above flood stage]
3:06PM-42.92' [water's receeding]
7:18PM-42.92'[level stable- but still at above flood stage]
7:24PM-47.36' [water's rising]

The big problem which will show itself in the hours to come is that (check out a weather radar of the Ohio Valley) the current rain is coming from the SW and is going NE and thus, due to its location is traveling right up the Ohio Valley. The geography here is such that all the rain in this nearly mountanous area falls onto saturated ground, thus the run-off is intense and immediate. The course of ALL this run-off is to the Ohio River, which flows SW toward Cincinati, which already is being flooded by it's own local rains.

This has the potential to be a real mess (especially if it freezes and snows...and freezes again.)

GLOBAL WARMING!!!!! It's BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!

Run to high ground.....

When you get a lot of snow that is melted in 2 days it tends to flood. We in Cincinati always get high water after a big snow or lots of rain. There has been a marina under water for the last 2 months so the river has been higher than normal.

Happens every year. At least the last 10 I can remember. I know my work takes me down to a lot of places on the river. Was just at Cargill Corn Silos right on the river yesterday and the water was lapping at the tires where the trucks pull in to unload.

They said it happens every year just earlier this than normal.
