Cincinnati Public Schools' Riverview East Academy is closed for flooding

Students who attend Cincinnati Public Schools' Riverview East Academy, on Kellogg Avenue, will attend classes at Jacobs Center on Tuesday. Belterra Park Gaming, farther out Kellogg, closed Monday and will remain closed until the road is safe for driving. In New Richmond, the water covered a few low-lying spots, but Front Street remained dry and passable Monday. Tom Wuerdeman has seen three floods during his years in the village and doesn't get too worried: Everything in his basement is in containers, and sump pumps will help keep it dry. But he knows you can't be too relaxed when water is on the rise. "We've just got to make sure to move the vehicles out of here. Sometimes it comes up really quickly, and then uh, oh, your car is underwater if you don’t get your car," he said. The Ohio River is expected to crest just above 56 feet in Cincinnati by early Wednesday morning, causing moderate flooding. That's well below the most recent serious flood, when the the river crested above 64 feet in 1997.
