Flood Threat Eases Across Four States Amid Relief Efforts
An optimistic mood in river towns grew as the muddy Ohio River eased its crest. Evansville reported only one evacuation call and a 54 foot flood wall protected the city. The Red Cross estimated 20,433 homes damaged or destroyed in Indiana Kentucky Ohio and West Virginia with potential losses near 100 million. U S Army Engineers credited flood control for saving at least 290 million in damages and reducing crests from 2 to 10 5 feet between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. President Johnson and five state governors surveyed the area and federal aid was declared available. Kentucky sought 4.2 million to repair public facilities while private property damage could be triple that amount. Light rain delayed the river’s fall but was not expected to worsen the situation significantly.
