There have been multiple water rescues in the area of Hwy 177 and Flour Creek. The water there is much deeper than it looks. Please do not drive through this or any other flooded roadway. It is not worth the risk to yourself, your property or first responders.

02/14/2025

The National Weather Service's latest prediction for the Licking River crest at Falmouth has increased to 32.7 ft, just below flood stage. At this level, several roads will more than likely be impacted by high water. These include:

- Caldwell Ln
- Colvin Bend Rd
- Galloway Rd
- Hayes Station Rd
- Hwy 609 near Davis Rd
- Hwy 177 and Hwy 609
- Hwy 177 and Flour Creek Rd
- Hwy 330 near the Morgan Bridge
- River Road
- Wagners Ferry Rd (2 locations)
- 4th St near the Skate Park in Falmouth
- Other low lying roads and/or bridges may be inundated during the heavy rain and excessive runoff.

This prediction may change as the path of heaviest rain is narrowed down. If you live near creeks, streams, low lying areas or the river, be aware of and prepared for high water this weekend into next week.

Since our county borders the Ohio River, a few years ago Pendleton County Search & Rescue, Inc. (PCSAR) was eligible for and received over $75,000 on a grant through the US Coast Guard. They purchased a 21 ft rescue boat, fully funded from the grant. This allows the department to safely operate on Ohio River waters and during high water/flood events on the Licking River. This provides our county with a readily available rescue craft powerful enough to handle the swift waters of a flood should one occur.

Each year PCSAR takes their 21 ft rescue boat to Cincinnati and assists the US Coast Guard during Riverfest. They patrol sections of the Ohio river ensuring the safety and security of the many boaters who gather on the river for the event.

This year during Riverfest, five PCSAR professionals were on the river from 9:30 in the morning to 1:00 AM the next morning. During this long day of service, the Coast Guard used their capabilities quite extensively...they towed three disabled boats to safety, were sent on calls of distress, patrolled up and down the river ready to respond to river emergencies, and ensured boaters were following safety protocols in an extremely congested area of the river. They represented Pendleton County very well at a highly visible event and as a side benefit, they had a great view of the fireworks!

While this group was on the river in Cincinnati, another group of PCSAR personnel responded to a sick person on the river here in Pendleton County. And today, they helped a disabled boat at Kincaid Lake.

Not only do they have a variety of water resources, they also operate on land and are relentless when it comes to searching for lost or missing persons.

This department is made up of dedicated volunteers and we are fortunate to have the skills, abilities, and resources these public servants bring to bear. Thank you for your service to our community and beyond.
