I am watching the Ohio river carefully. My whole back yard is flooded, and the driving range adjacent to my backyard. It is supposed to crest at 54 feet on Friday (2 feet above flood stage). 61 feet puts it in my basement. Jason Dornhaggen (glassman) called last night, he's on standby for me. ;) THANK YOU JASON!

since few caught the error, the river thru hamilton is only a few feet deep, not 50-60 feet.

I actually think the measurement was feet above sea level......Hamiltucky is already at 60 feet above sea level with no water in the river (or something like that)
