When the rains came

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, May 29, 2014

It didn't appear to having the makings of a flash flood, but there were roads in rural Ada covered with water last night. The County Line Road south of County Line Church of the Brethren was covered. The eastbound entrance ramp to U.S. Route was also covered. High water warning signs were posted. This field west of Ada on State Rout 81 shows the seriousness of the rain. Mark Badertscher of the Hardin County Extension office reported a lot of variance in the county as rainfall reporters recorded from 0.25 to 2.61 inches.
