Another major rain event occurred from late on the 9th into the evening hours of the 10th.  Rain amounts of 1 to 2 inches were common.  Including this episode, the accumulative affects of 5 significant rain events since February 21st, caused the Ohio River to flood.  The crest along the Ohio River was mostly 2 to 6 feet above the assigned flood stages.  The crest occurred late on the 12th into the morning hours of the 13th.  Along many reaches, it was the highest stage on the Ohio River since 2005.  Some of the flood gates were installed in the Ironton floodwall, forcing a school to be canceled for a few days.
The crest of 49 feet at Pomeroy did allow water to reach the businesses along Main Street.  Water was about 6 inches to a foot inside the structures.  However, damage was minimal.  Inventory and personal property was moved to higher levels well in advance of the flood.  The Pomeroy police chief said, the community knew what they needed to do, they knew what was expected, and they stuck together, and that's what separates us from other people.
In Lawrence County, about 20 properties along the river had minor water problems.  This was either water reaching around their homes, or into their garages and outbuildings.
The other most significant impact was road closures along the entire reach of the river in southeast Ohio.  This caused motorists to take alternate routes for a few days.   In the wake of the high water, a few roads suffered slips from the saturated ground.  Many of the flood prone parks and recreational areas along the river were also flooded, including some of their outbuildings.
The unique feature about this flood, was the fact that there was very little headwater river or small small flooding in southeast Ohio.  Leading into the Ohio River flood, only some minor stream flooding occurred along portions of some of the larger creeks, such as Raccoon Creek and the Little Muskingum River.
