Ottawa rivers rose past 28 feet with crest projections near 32 feet at the Main Street bridge, prompting pumping actions and gate closings. Lightning and hail knocked out phone circuits, damaged power lines, and caused street and basement flooding. Local officials warned of erosion and potential farm and road impacts as officials tracked river levels and reservoir releases.
