*****”Dramatic Drone Footage Captures Ohio River’s Menacing Rise in Cincinnati!”*****
CINCINNATI – Following a record-breaking crest of over 60 feet on Monday night, the Ohio River is gradually subsiding in Cincinnati. Drone footage captured by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office offers a glimpse of the downtown area on Tuesday, showcasing the extent of flooding near the river’s banks, particularly around Great American Ball Park – the Cincinnati Reds’ home base.
Witness the powerful impact of historic flooding through satellite images depicting the overflowing Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati on Tuesday, April 8. The video also showcases the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge linking Ohio and Kentucky, with cars navigating over the bridge amidst significantly elevated river levels.
Despite the ongoing high water levels on Wednesday, the city continues to grapple with the aftermath of the flooding. The contrast between river levels at the bridge on March 21 and during the recent peak is stark, evident not only in the water levels but also in the water’s color, now a murky brown hue.
The closure of riverfront parks – including Smale, Yeatman’s Cove, and Swayer Point – over the weekend due to flooding highlights the impact on public spaces. The Cincinnati Parks Department is gearing up for cleanup operations as the waters gradually recede. A Flood Warning remains in place for the Ohio River in Cincinnati until at least Thursday night.
With river levels reaching their highest point since February 26, 2018, the area is currently experiencing moderate flooding. National Water Prediction Service (NWPS) forecast data indicates that Cincinnati will remain in an action stage until at least April 14 before the Ohio River begins its slow return to normalcy in the following weeks.
