Frequently asked questions
One river looks normal. Why are the mill streets still flooding?
Because two meet here. Both have to fall together for the lowest streets to drain, so either one running high backs water into them. A single gauge reading is half the picture.
The Ohio can be up while the Big Sandy is quiet. What has to coincide before mill streets flood?
Usually both, and that is the local pattern. The Ohio can be high and the terrace still drain through the Big Sandy. When they peak together the junction has no unused capacity, and the lowest blocks see channel water rather than hillside seepage. Catlettsburg and Kenova feel the same junction; one high river is a warning, two is the mill-street job.
The rivers dropped. Why is the hillside basement still wet?
Because that wall is holding the hill. Water that entered the slope above the house is still moving. The confluence sets the flood question; the cut sets the seepage question. A bench house above the terrace can stay wet on that cut for days, which is why a falling Ohio gauge is not a dry wall.
