Ohio Hit By Flash Floods From March Rainstorm
A heavy March rainstorm sent rivers out of their banks across Ohio causing near emergency conditions. Four inches of rain in parts of Southern Ohio swelled the Scioto and Little Miami Rivers, isolating villages and flooding highways. At least 150 state routes were closed, and two deaths occurred from lightning and a pole fall. Governor Rhodes declined a state of emergency. National Guard and flood crews operated in eastern areas while barricades ran short in Darke County. Newark was hard hit as the Licking River overflowed, with evacuations reported in Bourneville and Austin. Weather was set to turn colder with light rain today.
