Record flood unlikely as Hocking River rise slows
Athens area flood risk eased as Hocking River near noon showed a slower rise. Officials predicted a peak near 22 ft rather than 23.5 ft, with 21.03 ft at 11 a.m. and 20.64 ft at 7 a.m. City damage centered on a large East End storm sewer and multiple slips along Peach Ridge, Cable Lane, Grosvenor Street, and Route 33S. Parking chaos in downtown Athens worsened as residents moved cars and emergency vehicles faced blockages. Utilities reported over 1,500 phones out in southern Athens, with an emergency line, nursing homes served by emergency phones, and repairs ongoing to manholes and lines. Road closures remained on several state routes, and officials advised caution on rural township roads amid lingering slips and flood debris.
