Schools, roads still cleaning up after Sunday night's flooding

Although meteorologists predicted Tuesday morning would bring showers instead of the floods that doused Greater Cincinnati Sunday night, some waterlogged schools and roads remained closed as officials worked to clean up the damage. Whitaker Elementary School lost windows, carpet and much of its library to floodwaters Sunday night, superintendent Terri Noe said. Although the damaged items were insured, the cleanup still necessitated a Tuesday closure. "It has to be inspected and cleared before we can bring children back in here," Noe said. "Or adults, for that matter." Reading Middle School and Reading High School also announced they would remain closed Tuesday.
