The Ohio and lower Mississippi rivers continue to run above flood stage in response to rain and melting snow in recent weeks.
Several storms have impacted this part of the country during the first half of March, including multiple rainstorms and a major snowstorm.
This influx of rainwater paired with melting snow has caused ice jams, and road closures have put lives and property at risk.
The Ohio River is one of the rivers in the region being most affected from the recent storms. On Sunday, the river crested in Cincinnati at its highest level since 1997.
