duffy Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 the ohio river will crest today well below the level they predicted last week....instead of the 37 feet they said it will stop raisin below 28 feet (27.7).....thats great news...i just gotta drive thru a couple inches on my lane...the 37 feet woulda closed the state road and i would been closed off for a coupla days....not countin many of my neighbors who would have flooded basements....only bad thing the county would brought in a roll off dumpster and i coulda got rid of some junk...arggggh....for free....

Ally Opp Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Gad, the Eastern part of the country is getting slammed this winter! California has had some isolated weather events, but nothing like the rest of the country. Noah's Ark indeed...do you think one could be built from recycled wood pallets? Got to think green!

Scoop Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 We're getting very close to the rainfall that flooded our house on Mother's Day a few years back... But, they say it's gonna fall just a little short of those numbers... Sunshine tomorrow!!!! It can reflect off the lake that was once my back yard!!!
