Frequently asked questions
It is not raining and the Ohio is climbing. Is that our problem this week?
It can be. This river drains a huge upstream area, so the level here reflects rain and snowmelt from days earlier and far away. The upside is genuine warning time — unlike Pigeon Creek, the Ohio announces itself. The creek is the one that does not.
Pigeon Creek looks like a ditch. Why would it beat the Ohio to our basement?
Because it is local. A slow April storm on the west side loads the creek in hours, while the Ohio is still answering to yesterday's weather in another state. A west-side basement can take creek water on a day the river still looks ordinary.
The crest fell last week. Why is the basement still seeping?
Silt. After a crest the water table in the alluvium stays high, and a 1961 wall on that silt takes seepage long after the river has gone back between its banks. The crest is the visible event; the seepage is the week that follows.
