If your basement typically floods, this will be another week of checking on the sump pump. By Friday, the Little & Great Miami Rivers will rise into their flood stages. The Ohio River is also expected to reach its Action Stage of 40′ by Friday morning and continues to rise into the weekend. If you live in a flood-prone area, you’ll likely see high water issues at times, and we could see some area roads closed for standing water.
