As many of you already know, there is flooding going on in the Ohio Valley. The river crested a few hours ago and now we all have to wait until the waters subside. I live up on a ridge, so I don't have to worry about my house, barn or outbuildings flooding. But, to get off my road to go anywhere is impossible right now because the road at the bottom of my hill is under water. Last night I barely made it home (I was rather stupid and drove through the deepening water to get home from work).  There are also several landslides and sinkholes from all the rain.

My cell service won't let me upload any pics because it stalls out, but I'll post when I can. 

Anybody else having floods?

been getting pics of my old country club in Pittsburgh and it looks nasty. plus Marietta is completely FUBAR but nothing is new there.

Shit, I hadn't paid much attention. How bad is it in Marietta? As bad as 2005 (I think that was the big one when we were in school)?

I grew up across the river from Wheeling. 

I’ve seen worse (higher water) when I was younger, but from the drone footage and pics I’ve seen, this is a bad one. Wheeling Island is rekt. 

So I've tried to upload pics several times here but it keeps stalling out. I've been able to upload to other sites, so whatever lol

Getting higher water here and my back yard is a pool.

A little off topic but water related. Earlier in the week, a pickup truck driver hit a lady that was walking, after dark, just off a rural road that I live on. Truck threw the lady into the flooded ditch, guy (or lady) took off and left the lady for dead. They found her dead in the ditch a while later.

Are you on iphone? If so, you have to select the options link at the bottom and select one of the options other than "Full size" which is the default. Large or medium usually work. 

If you're on android, I have no idea.

Yeah, I've got a droid pixel. It's ok

Since I can't upload pics here I'll post a FB site that has a little drone footage of Wheeling Island/Wheeling.

Glad you’re safe and property is okay.

My bf and I just spent the day at my aunt's and a few of her neighbors house, scrubbing down their basement with soapy bleach water and airing them out. The population of the valley is just getting too old to do that kind of work.

Super easy, though, with the premixes you just attach to hoses. Work smarter not harder, right? lol
