Beegreenstrings Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Sorry to hear that man! That sucks. I live approx. 2 miles from the muskingum south of Zanesville. So we have the Muskingum and the Licking coming together at the Y bridge. It is beyond its banks and Dillon is up over the sidewalks now. They keep holding it back trying to save Marietta from flooding.Got to love the spring time in Ohio... You definately know there is no shortage of water at this time of year.I dont have your issues. We live up on a hillside elevated from the creeks and roadways. But my yard and driveway look like fresh springs there is so much run off coming through. Got it sucks.

AndyJ Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 That really sucks! Hope it works out for you.I'm home clearing out my basement today; sump pump got overwhelmed for awhile yesterday & got 1-2" of water, even that 'minor' amount is a PITA, let alone the real foot+ deep flooding alot of folks are getting.

ReconRat Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) I checked after yesterday morning's storm. An area from near Marysville to past Findlay was showing 5 or 6 inches of rain. All in a few minutes of the storm front passing.http://www.toledoonthemove.com/news/story.aspx?id=587169 Edited March 1, 2011 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsuMj Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Tiffin area was flooded. My sister and her bf lost their furnace, water heater, and washer when the water flooded their basement and came up through the first floor and their insurance is hassling them about paying it!

Beegreenstrings Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yeah I had to find 2 alternate routes down to the cabin last night.I could see the roof! That is a good thing since we just put it on last spring. Wonderful. Mop and bucket time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
