Boats Drift and Sink as Ohio River Rises
In Cincinnati area, rising Ohio River sweeps at least 12 small pleasure boats from Watch-Haven Marina. About 25 of roughly 100 boats were recovered with no reported casualties.

One barge reportedly carried a gasoline storage tank and tied briefly to the Covington shore before breaking free again.
