Thursday - December 2: A Nixle early warning system message supplied by the CC Emergency Management Association announced that the flood warning for the Ohio River at Wellsville has been cancelled as of 4:59 AM today. With practically two days of steady rain a flood watch was changed to a flood warning yesterday.
According to the Nixle text message water was at 5.0' on the flood gage yesterday at 6 PM and water levels were predicted to crest at 9.0' this morning before receding. Flood stage for Wellsville is 11.0' on that gage.
The early warning Nixle system sends out text messages and e-mails to alert anyone signed on about pending situations. It's available and free to the public. For the Columbiana County area, efforts are coordinated by Darren Dodson and members of the CC EMA.
