Ohio River towns brace for flooding in Ohio
BRILLIANT, Ohio (AP) — Eastern Ohio communities on the Ohio River are preparing for the worst because of possible heavy rain, with the river already rising from melting snow.
Flood watches were in effect Friday for dozens of Ohio counties, including those along the Ohio River. A few other counties scattered around the state are under a more serious flood warning because of minor flooding already seen along creeks and streams.
Overlooking the Ohio River in Brilliant, Matthews Chevrolet owner Joe Matthews says he's been moving equipment to higher floors and will relocate his cars. He says water went 6 feet high in the building during a 2004 flood and several earlier ones in the community 45 miles southwest of Pittsburgh.
The Brilliant fire chief says the firehouse has flooded 35 times.
