Frequently asked questions
The Ohio stayed inside the banks. Why did the river-street crawl still wet in May?
The table. Sand and gravel under the floodplain transmit the river's stage into a crawl that never saw overbank flow. May rain then adds to a table that was already high from the basin. A wall of sandbags on the bank misses the water coming through the ground. The gauge can stay below flood and the crawl still sits in the river.
We live up the hill. Does May treat that crawl like a river-street one?
No. The hill is perched clay against a crawl wall; the bottoms are a river table through sand. One May, two soils, and a 1986 median that mixed both in a small village. Asking whether you sit on fill by the Ohio or on a clay cut above it is the first cut.
The Ohio fell yesterday. Why is the hillside crawl still damp?
Clay on the hill does not drain on the river's schedule. May rain perched against that wall has to leave through soil that swells shut, which takes days after the Ohio falls. The river reading is the right indicator only for the bottoms. On the hill the crawl dries when the clay does.
