Ohio River Rising Near Apple Grove in Flood Watch
At midnight the Ohio River rose past U S Dam 23 at Apple Grove with water levels increasing about one tenth of a foot every four hours. Pomeroy officials claim streets will stay dry as a slight fall downstream reduces pressure while Route 124 and Route 248 remain closed or limited by high water. Weather upriver could worsen conditions and area residents monitor the situation with caution.

Tractor-Trailer Turns Over Near Pomeroy Injures No One
The driver Ralph Albright 31 of Willard Ohio escaped injury when his tractor trailer loaded with 45900 pounds of pipe overturned on Route 33 near the A. M. Smith residence shortly after 3 25 am Thursday. He said a northbound car caused him to leave the berm hitting a cement abutment then a tree and finally tipping on its side. The load spilled and two wreckers righted the truck as a pipe reload was planned on a second vehicle. The pole broke off in a way that shielded the cab from the pipe. Albright was en route to Spencer West Virginia when the crash occurred.
