Between 2 and
2.5 inches of rain has fallen in the metro Louisville area from
7:00 P.M. Monday through 8:00 A.M. Tuesday morning.
These heavy
rains have fallen on saturated ground causing fast run-off to all
local streams and creeks. Over 5 inches of rain has fallen in the
local area during the past seven days. As of 6:00 A.M, MSD field
personnel have found all major streams to be running at full
capacity.
No flooding
of buildings has been observed or reported. However, some rural
roadways have been covered with water at low-lying areas.
MSD
Maintenance and Operations crews have worked through the night to
clear drainage channels and maintain service at MSD pump stations.
This rainfall
will have no immediate impact on the Ohio River as river levels
continue to drop. Rain from this system falling upstream from
Louisville could cause the river to rise again later in the week.
