OHIO RIVER FLOODING 

DEVASTATING FLOODS IN THE WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA AREA LAST SATURDAY ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON A GRIM MILESTONE AND ARE SIMILAR TO ONE HERE IN OHIO. 
TO SOME SEVERE WEATHER OBSERVERS, THE TOWN ALONG THE OHIO RIVER CONJURES MEMORIES. THE FLOOD IN SHADYSIDE OCCURRED IN 19-90 -- JUNE 14TH. IT WOULD BE 35 YEARS LATER, PRECISELY AND TO THAT DATE, THAT THEIR NEIGHBORS IN AND NEAR WHEELING WOULD BE HIT WITH AN EERILY SIMILAR CATASTROPHE. TWO OTHER SIMILARITIES: BOTH FLOODS OCCURRED AT NIGHT, AND IN BOTH CASES, IT RAINED ABOUT FOUR INCHES WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME ON A CONFINED AREA.
