Streams overflowed onto the usual low spots.  Shortly after 0900E, a 79 year old man was heading back home after a church pancake breakfast.  He was traveling down Copper Fork Road near Sandyville which is also Route 33/8.  Water from Copper Fork had come out of the banks in an area considered a low water crossing.  The man still tried to drive across the dip in the road.  The water was moving swiftly and his car was pulled into the creek.  Before emergency workers reached the scene, neighbors had successfully pulled him halfway out of the car with a rope.  At that time, the vehicle was pushed further down the stream.  The car became lodged under a bridge and the neighbors lost sight of the driver.  Swift water rescuers could not save him.  He drowned.
Flooding of the Ohio River continued from late February through the entire month of March. The exceptions were at Golconda and Shawneetown, which fell below flood stage between the 28th and 30th. The flooding was considered moderate. The flooding was due to a prolonged active weather pattern that carried over from February. From February 23 through March 14, a total of 8.31 inches fell at Evansville, IN and 9.43 inches at Paducah, KY.  Isolated evacuations of some lowland residents were conducted. In the city of Metropolis in Massac County, several streets were closed, a few residences were evacuated, and a casino riverboat was closed for several days. The closure of the casino had a major impact on the local economy. Flooding of the casino's parking lot and entrance prompted the closure. There was very little property damage to the casino itself. In Gallatin County, the community of Old Shawneetown was threatened, but the river fell short of entering houses. Several mobile homes and trailers in Hardin County were pulled away from the water. Rosiclare City Park was flooded, damaging playground equipment and rest rooms. Rural Pope County roads were flooded in many low areas, including around Golconda, Brownfield, and Hamletsburg. Water was very near some homes in the Hall Town area of Pope County. The Golconda marina was closed. In Pulaski County, a road was closed at the Cache River (a tributary of the Ohio). Several Alexander County roads were closed. There was considerable flooding of low-lying fields and woodlands near the river. Riverside parks and recreation areas were flooded, including portions of Fort Massac State Park near Metropolis. Some secondary roads near the river were flooded. The river crest at Cairo was 53.41 feet, which was within six inches of the January, 2005 flood and almost three feet lower than the 1997 flood. At Shawneetown, the crest was about three feet lower than the 2005 flood and several feet lower than 1997.

The strong southeast wind up the Delaware Bay and River combined with the already high astronomical tides associated with the full moon and fresh water runoff from heavy rain to produce severe tidal flooding along the Delaware River and tidal sections of its tributaries during the evening high tide cycle on the 16th in New Castle County. The high tide at Reedy Point established an all-time record high.
In Wilmington, tidal flooding affected the South Bridge area of the city. In New Castle, tidal flooding reached up to homes on The Strand. In Delaware City, tidal flooding occurred along both the Delaware River and the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. Flooding was reported around the 5th Street Bridge. About five homes in that vicinity had knee deep flood waters into their first floor. Flood waters surrounded homes in a trailer park off of 7th Street.

The high tide at Reedy Point reached 9.26 feet above mean lower low water at 1042 p.m. EDT on the 16th.  Severe tidal flooding begins at 9.2 feet above mean lower low water. This established an all-time record high tide for this gage site. The high tide at Delaware City reached 9.40 feet above mean lower low water. The high tide at Marcus Hook (Delaware County) reached 9.80 feet above mean lower low water.
The strong southeast winds persisted and reached its peak as the high tide was working its way up the Delaware Bay and Delaware River. The surface winds shifted to the west just around the time high tide was occurring. Minor tidal flooding also occurred during the overnight high tide cycles on the 17th and 18th in New Castle County. Farther southeast along coastal Delaware, tidal flooding on the evening of the 16th lessened toward the ocean. At Breakwater Harbor in Sussex County, only minor tidal flooding occurred.
