More rain pushes local river levels higher, Ohio River expected to hit flood stage
More rain on top of rain that hit last week has the Ohio River headed toward flood stage and those who live near other rivers are on the watch for flash floods.The Ohio River is expected to hit flood stage at 52 feet on Saturday and crest at 54 feet on Sunday.People who live along the Little Miami in Loveland are also watching the water. “It gets so high so quickly. It’s absurd,” said Loveland resident Alex Salatin.Most people who live here know the routine of the Little Miami, but not everyone.“It’s a new thing for me. Storms and weather, I never dealt with it,” said Rodi restaurant owner and chef Robert Peloni.Peloni opened the restaurant right along Little Miami about a year ago. Before that, he lived in Los Angeles where the biggest problem with rain is that there’s not enough of it. He went from that to this.“Last week, we were about a foot from cresting up. The river came pretty high,” Peloni said.About a block away, Chad Powers who owns the Narrow Path Brewing Company, is using the weather as a business barometer. “Everything down here is based on the weather,” Powers said. “We kind of staff based on the weather, we plan projects based on the time of year and the weather.”The Little Miami River is not expected to get to the flood stage.
