copperhead Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Apparently, the Ohio river flooded this past weekend, I'm still not sure why. As some of you know, I moved here a few years ago from Marietta, where I still have some family. Marietta got hit VERY hard by this, it's the worst flood they've had in forty years. http://mariettatimes.com/communities/04flood/readers/Pike-Street-008-rev.jpg That picture is of Pike Street, the main drag through the city. I've NEVER in my life seen that road covered with water. According to the local newspaper, the river hit ten feet over flood level. http://mariettatimes.com/communities/04flood/gallery.asp That's the rest of the pictures. I wish I could have made it down there, but I was told that over the weekend, all of the bridges into the city were shutdown. All of the backroads flood before anything, so there was no way in. Or out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
