Louisville Faces Historic Flooding Cleanup as Ohio River Rises

Louisville, Kentucky, is grappling with the aftermath of severe flooding caused by over 7 inches of rain, leading to historic water levels in the Ohio River, expected to crest at 37 feet. Mayor Craig Greenberg described the flooding as one of the worst in the city's history, with significant impacts on residents, businesses, and infrastructure, including the evacuation of over 60 individuals from a hotel. Cleanup efforts are underway, despite ongoing floodwaters, with storm debris drop-off locations established throughout the city. Residents are advised to avoid floodwaters, as conditions remain dangerous, and local authorities are monitoring the situation closely. Meanwhile, flooding issues are also reported in west Tennessee, particularly around the Forked Deer River, where waters are slowly receding. In Northeast Wisconsin, similar conditions along the Wolf River are being managed as water levels begin to drop after recent storms.
