The rain-swollen river was at 11.88 feet at 11 p.m. Thursday. Flood stage is 11 feet. Some Findlay roads were closed by high water Thursday night, the Findlay Police Department reported, including: - South River Road from Hancock County 140 to Stanford Parkway. - Howard Street from Broad Avenue to the rear of Walmart. - River Road from Broad Avenue to Westfield Drive. - East Main Cross Street at the Osborn Avenue bridge. - East Main Cross Street from South Blanchard Street to Osborn Avenue. - Stall Drive. - South Blanchard Street from Pearl Street to Hobart Avenue. Downstream, the weather service unofficially predicted the river level would reach 23.2 feet at Ottawa by tonight, just above flood stage of 23 feet. The river level was 21.14 feet at 9:30 p.m. Thursday. Eagle Creek, which flows into the Blanchard River at Findlay, crested at 6 p.m. Thursday at 10.46 feet, which is considered moderate flood stage, and receded to 9.88 feet at 11 p.m. Eagle Creek was expected to go below the 9-foot flood stage overnight or early this morning. When Eagle Creek rises to the 10-foot level, water reaches parts of South Blanchard Street, Brookside Drive, Fremont and Graceland avenues. About 2.1 inches of rain fell Tuesday and Wednesday, according to measurements taken at Findlay's Water Pollution Control Center. An additional 0.34 inch fell Thursday. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ --- Bob "The Lone Chicken" Welch Still corny after all these years!

The National Weather Service reported the rain-swollen river was at 10.82 feet at 11 p.m. Friday, and it was expected to continue to go down. Flood stage at Findlay is 11 feet. The Blanchard crested at 11.94 feet Thursday night, just below "moderate" flood stage of 12 feet. Findlay Safety Director Jim Barker said the high water caused typical road closures and some wet basements, but no significant damage. "We're in good shape," he said. At Ottawa, the Blanchard was 1.5 feet over the 23-foot flood stage Friday night, which the National Weather Service considers minor flooding. The river level was 24.49 feet at 11:30 p.m. Friday. The weather service predicted the river at Ottawa would crest this morning at 24.5 feet and fall below flood stage early Sunday. At 25 feet, water reaches South Walnut and West Second streets on the south side of Ottawa. Eagle Creek, which flows into the Blanchard River at Findlay, crested at 6 p.m. Thursday at 10.46 feet, which is considered moderate flood stage. At 11 p.m. Friday it had receded to 5.51 feet, three feet below the creek's flood stage. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ --- Bob "The Lone Chicken" Welch Still corny after all these years!
