Down 8" so far from the river cresting 2018-04-07, But snow is on the way!

Well, it doesn't seem like this is over yet.

     

     Even though the prediction of the river level is supposed to be going down, in reality, it is still going up.  I just was out looking at the water level and it is up another 3 inches at the New Richmond Marina. Not that 3 inches is a lot, it is that the river is still rising when the prediction has it falling.

The Ohio River appears to have topped off for this event.

The Ohio River at Meldahl Dam is at, or pretty close to cresting for this event.

     This is a view of the river bank at 13:08 today. The river is moving quickly and contains a lot of debris.   More as the river rises.   

          OK,... I know,.....   I have not coded any HTML for 10 years and forgot how to do what I wanted to do. DOH!  I have to go and fix this late today so you can click the graphic and it will open the original photo in a new window. (Its either a Brain fart or CRS, but I will get it.)

Less than a foot of rise left to go!

     Per the river gauge at Meldahl dam, we have less than a foot to go before the river starts receding.  This is a very good thing. The ground in the village is currently sloppy wet and can't handle more water. At this rate, things might dry out by 4th of July.

Upper level appears to falling (slowly)

River rise continues.

     
     For the river gauge at Meldahl Dam, the projected return of the river, currently will be on Friday, 06 APR 2018 at around 17:00.
   

     For Cincinnati, the river is already up for them.

UP Ten Feet in 24 Hours

     Hey there!  Once again, the rain from the last few days is bumping up the river rather quickly. This time, we received a 10' rise in the last 24 hours. Not that it makes for a problem. Nature does what it wants. Also means we could get another indoor swimming pool if it gets to 51 feet again. Since both sump pumps gave out during the February flood, there is nothing we can keep ahead of the water. There is nothing in the basement besides a busted furnace and water heater, but it is what it is.

26.1' and rising

     
          The river is expected to rise 10' in the next 24 hours. That is pretty quick. I imagine there will not be much river traffic going 'up' the river due to the current, but whatever is heading downstream will be flyin' with the current.

Just another post of the river stage.

       
   

Looks like 29.51 feet so far.

---

This time, there is nothing to move.

     
       I would like to get things going and just in case, have anything of value moved out of the basement and up to the first floor, but there isn't anything down there now. There is a tool cabinet, but that was so heavy it never moved from the last 'Incursion of water into the structure', which I believe it was called by the National Flood Insurance Program [NFIP]. I called it an indoor swimming pool, but no one really thought it was funny.

The 'Muddy Ohio' is rising again!

     
     
     Once again, we are looking at some high water in the village. Not quite as high as in February of this year, but high enough to take the necessary preliminary precautions.
     

     
Remember, last time when it kept raining and raining, the evacuation time quickly changed from 3+ days to get out, which turned into 3+ hours for some of us.

Plan ahead!
