| 摘要： | The National Weather Service's Ohio River Forecast Center has partnered with local forecasting offices to memorialize Ohio River Basin flooding in 1997 through a website in connection with the floods 25th anniversary. In March 1997, the Ohio River rose to the highest level since March 1964, with navigation on the river stopped completely from Cincinnati, Ohio, to Smithland, Ky., due to locks being flooded, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). Twenty-four people died in the flood in Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia and Indiana, according to the NWS website, titled A Look Back: Remembering the Flood of March 1997. "The flood occurred without the benefit of any melting snow, and with normal soil moisture conditions before the event began," the website said. "Run-off was maximized since vegetation had not yet begun to green up. Most of the region received more than 6 inches of rainfall. The heaviest rainfall amounts occurred along and just south of the Ohio River, where 10-12 inches fell." |
