We're flooding again!!

[HaMeR]

  The waters are rising & the streams & rivers have been out of their banks for over a week from that big snow melt. Now it's rained for the last couple days. Thankfully I'm not in a flood area nor will my travel routes be cut off. But if anybody else is having troubles with high water anywhere just hang in there as best you can. It'll go away. Good Luck to everybody!!

Its been pretty high here, but not as bad as previous years.

I heard that Glen. My mom said that it was getting bad. I can remember that happening every year up near Lake Erie.

DirtyDog,I am up by Lake Erie its not the lake as much but all the rivers that feed into it.I live about 15 miles from the maumee river it was up yesterday.Jerry lives in a area that floods alot.

[DirtyDog]

Yep.....I remember overpasses and such flooding up near Cleveland. Main thing I have to worry about here is if the damn at the Tennessee river breaks.

We had it terrible bad here a few years ago. The top half of stop signs were sticking above the water in some places. We have a dam a few miles up river from me & I think that would be the only way I would get hit. But Mom & Dad, my Brother & 1 Sister would lose everything if it burst. I would probably be OK.

Hamer, back in 2006 was terrible, that the same year for you ?  National Guard called in, the entire town was under water.
I'll see if I can dig up some pic's somewhere.  There's got to be some left on the www.  It was that terrible.

Here ya go, I cant directly post the pictures because this is a local photograher's site.

I just heard on the news that Tuscy Valley Schools will be closed do to High water.

That School is just down the road from OhioBob They were talking about alot of the roads in his area is closed
due to high water.

As for me I won't see any high water where I live,but if I get flooded ontop Grove Mt we are all in deep water

[HaMeR]

Bill-- Rt 93 is closed 1 mile North of Baltic. Rt 39 is probably closed near Dover @ the Willow Glens allotment.

It's gonna be as bad as if not worse than '05 around here.  They are talking about I77 North needing to be shut down also. In '05 they did have the driving lane coned off.

Yes it will Al. My Inlaws are up the river from you in Mingo Junction & they say it's still OK there yet. 

Good Luck dealing with this!!

I am trying to set up a hunt with Jim and a lot of my spots are under water. Maybe it will drive them yotes all to one spot for us.

I actually look forward to the Mississippi River belching out her banks in the spring. It makes for some of the best Bass and Pike ever. 
Northern Pike in the fence rows!...I mean how can a guy go wrong?

Don't get me wrong...I dont wish hard times on anyone when this happens, and I know that some homes too close to the rivers are seriously jeopardized or ruined.  We have American RedCross down here almost annually because of it. I'm on pretty high ground, maybe that's why I talk so bold

I hope you guys that are getting close to the flooding is allright.  it is funny I live not more then 400 yds from the creek and most of the people within 500 yds of the conodoquinet creek get flooded.  but living 300 ft above the water is great.  we allways get the flood insurance company's calling offering flood insurance because we are in a flood zone.  if it floods here somebody better be building a ark. 

[coyote101]

Hope everything works out for you guys. We'll be praying for everybody in the flood areas.

I am down around Dayton right now, but just talked with my wife and she said that the rain has quit in Defiance.  The trip down here was pretty WET!  Now as long as the school I have to visit tomorrow doesn't get closed due to water I will be in good shape.
