Tuesday evening update on flooding

Posted: Updated:
WATERVILLE, Ohio -

It's been a few days since 2" to 3" of rain soaked some parts of Northwest Ohio, but some secondary roads, mainly in rural areas, remain under water.  The same is true for acres and acres of farmland.

River Flood Warnings continue this Tuesday evening in Lucas, Wood, Ottawa, Sandusky, Henry, Putnam, Allen, Paulding, Defiance and Marion Counties. The rivers have crested, and are falling.

As far as specifics, the Maumee River is slowly falling at Waterville, still about 2' above flood stage.
