Floods across Ohio drop from cresting rivers with several counties reporting rising water to receding levels. In Hocking County two inches of rain caused local floods, but temperatures near freezing and a 24 degree low forecast should slow drainage as streams fall. Authorities note Route 664 remained closed in Hocking, Rush Creek and Route 33 closures eased, while buses and post office trucks ran normally in Logan.

Local engineers reassessed the crest downward in Marietta area as more floods spread along secondary streams.
