Nearly every home in Millville, Butler County, #Ohio ( #Cincinnati region) village faces flood damage
The mayor of the village of about 700 people said Thursday that overnight flooding is the worst the area has seen in his lifetime.
#weather #flooding
Nearly every home in this Butler County village faces flood damage following heavy rain, mayor says
We spoke with Millville Mayor Curt Pennington as he pumped gallons of water out of his basement, which he said had about four to five feet of water in it following flash flooding.

@Lizette603_23 We are in for a week of it. Had a bunch last night. Ohio River rose 4.5 feet and rising. (We're close to the river but on an elevation at flood level and safe) Not sure if it will crest here. Depends if they want to throw us under the water to save the riverfront recreational parks in Cincinnati or not by holding water upstream of Cincinnati

@Lizette603_23 100% confident from Ohio River flooding. It would take biblical flooding to reach my home. Flash flooding coming down from the mountain is our flooding concern.

Attached: 2 images @EugestShirley@m.ai6yr.org Not at all in danger. I am on the ridge. Major flooding ends at our property line but the ridge protects us. It would have to be river flooding of Biblical proportions for us to get it. River water frequently gets to it though. As you can see from this view out our back window, the ridge we are on is a couple stories high. Second image shows a red line at the elevation of our home up on the ridge. Our danger is flash flooding.

@Lizette603_23 Yeah. It has reached behind that trailer just below our window before. I've seen that yard a foot or more under water more than once. The river is in this photo at the red marking in the upper right hand corner behind that grey roof.

@paul You do seem to be quite far above that area, though. Fingers crossed that services are not cut off by weather.

@Lizette603_23 That a different story... Being rural, we get lots of power outages but we have a whole house generator that automatically comes on. You can see all the homes up on the ridge when your are downtown in the village and when the power is out, the only bright spot up on the ridge where most of the village houses are is our house, operating with power as unusual. The first time the power went out after we got it, it was like a parade of nosey onlookers driving by our house, confused we had power. lol.

@paul hahaha we're looking into that, but the requirements from the only reputable company that also services what it sells includes an entire new larger gas line, which involves the county gas company and what THEY will and won't approve. Massively expensive just to get the lines in let alone the generator installed as well.

@Lizette603_23 Where I live, they bring the natural gas lines to your house and install a meter at no charge...
We don't like gas so we went the LP Propane way. Got a Generac that operates of propane.
The only thing I don't like is when the power goes off, it throws a large switch in a power box under the meter and it sounds like a shotgun going off.
That switch is directly 3 feet to the right of me, on the the outside wall. If my hand could go through the wall I could touch it. If I am at my desk when it switches over with no warning, It startles me every time. lol
