Hope of Warding Off Ohio Flood Brightens
Hope of averting a major flood in the Ohio River Valley rose as forecasts predicted little rain for two days. The river, at its sixth highest level in 64 years, continued rising about four inches hourly. Rivermen expected limited additional damage unless rainfall increases. Two deaths in West Virginia and Kentucky were linked to swollen streams as flood conditions persisted into the fourth day. The Red Cross aided nearly 3,800 flooded families across Ohio Indiana West Virginia and Kentucky. Portsmouth fought the rising water with an emergency 1,000-foot two-week levee project near a new floodwall, aiming to protect up to 77 feet. Last night the river neared the 60-foot mark, about four feet below the wall, with a crest around 62 feet anticipated.
