Some Waters Receding
Cincinnati television station WLWT reported that rising waters and continuing rain forced some Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky residents out of their homes, but that many should be able to return Thursday.County officials were reporting more and more roads reopening to traffic as waters recede.Residents in South Lebanon, Ohio, were told to leave town on Wednesday, but things didn't turn out as badly as expected.Officials had feared a crest on the Little Miami River of 28 feet, which is 11 feet above flood stage. The river had begun to recede by mid-afternoon Wednesday after cresting around 24 feet, said Frank Young, emergency management director in Warren County, Ohio."It looks like we caught a break," Young said.However, rescue workers were busy helping people out of cars swamped by the flooding."The biggest problem has been people driving into floodwater," Young said. "There are a lot of stupid people. When that sign says, 'Road closed, high water,' that's what it means."In Whitewater Township, firefighters went through a trailer park door to door to help residents get out if they wanted to. Crews spent several hours using boats to bring people to dry land.Judy Booth, who's lived in a low-lying area of Whitewater Township for 11 years, said Wednesday was the first time she's had to flee from flooding."You don't have no choice, you've got to go," said Booth, who was helped by fire-rescue squads who brought an inflatable boat for her to her water-surrounded home.Disaster Declaration In Missouri
President George W. Bush approved a major disaster declaration for parts of Missouri hit by flooding following days of heavy rain. The move means 70 of the state's 114 counties and the city of St. Louis are now eligible for federal emergency relief funding. The cleanup bill for the soggy mess is expected to run into the millions. A National Weather Service official in Washington said people should be on high alert for high water and never try to drive on flooded roadways.Distributed by Internet Broadcasting Systems, Inc.
