Ohio River Continues to Rise in Owensboro
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The National Weather service continued the flood warning for the Ohio River in Owensboro until Friday March 20.  Flood stage is 40 feet and on Tuesday the river was 41.8 feet.  Minor flooding is occurring and minor flooding is forecast. The river will continue rising to near 43.4 feet by Friday morning.

Due to potential flooding conditions, empty sandbags will be available at the Daviess County Operations Center, 2620 Highway 81, Owensboro, Kentucky for Daviess County residents. There will be a limit of 100 bags per family. Residents will be responsible for acquiring the sand on their own. Pickup times are as follows:

Tuesday, March 10 – Friday, March 13, 2015 from 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Monday, March 16 – Friday, March 20, 2015 from 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

What Can I Do to Avoid Getting Caught in a Flooded Road or Street? 

Most flood-related deaths and injuries could be avoided if people who come upon areas covered with water followed this simple advice: Turn around – don’t drown. The reason that so many people drown during flooding is because few of them realize the incredible power of water. A mere six inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. It takes only two feet of rushing water to carry away most vehicles. This includes pickups and SUVs.

Conditions do not currently warrant a declaration for a State of Emergency.

Boston Laffoon Road
E. Marksberry Road
