Reporting in from SW Ohio (greater Cincinnati area) ... heavy rain now falling, no wind, although heavy gusts are expected later. 3 to 4 inches (possibly more) of rain expected in the next 18 hours.
Raining in Akron too, but calm winds at this point.
I'd appreciate any updates as to the nature of what you're getting in OH throughout the day. We expect the remnants here in Toronto sometime this evening.
Hello Cincinnati! Love your town! Lived there back in the early 80's in Westwood. Still miss it. The Reds and Bengals are my favorite teams.
I'm in the Bluegrass(central) section of Kentucky. We're getting slight winds and very moderate, but steady rainfall.Expecting winds to 25 with gusts to 35 through the day and night. with some thunderstorms today and tonight. We are under a flash flood watch till this evening
It's been raining for a while, but nothing heavy yet.
Talking now on Fox about the possibility of evacuating NO because of health concerns.
And all this rain from the Ohio River valley will end up in the Mississippi and eventually flowing through the state of Mississippi and Louisiana. Unless they can get the dikes rebuilt in New Orleans, the city stands to sustain flooding for several weeks not days.
I told someone this morning that we needed about 40 days and nights of this stuff to make up for the drought this summer.
