Ohio River levels fall in flooded Ohio Valley towns
Ohio River levels declined across the flood zone from Cincinnati to Louisville. At Cincinnati the stage was 63.1 feet, down half a foot in 24 hours, with three to four days expected for floodwaters to recede below flood lines in most towns. Intermittent rains lingered but not enough to alter the flood. The Sunken airport levee remained intact but seepage filled low areas and runways. The death toll rose with Louis Mitchell, 15, of Manchester, Ohio, killed when he touched a high tension wire while rowing in backwaters.
