Eagle Creek Drops Out Of Flood Stage

1/2/19 – 5:28 A.M.

Eagle Creek reached minor flood stage as we rang in the new year. The creek crested at just over 9.8 feet around 10:45 a.m. Tuesday. It dropped back below flood stage by 2 p.m.

While the Blanchard River is running high, Monday’s rain showers didn’t push it into flood stage. The river crested in action stage at just over 10.2 feet around 4 p.m. Tuesday. Flood stage starts at 11 feet in Findlay.

The National Weather Service does not expect the river to reach flood stage in Ottawa either.
