Here we go again. . .

The remnants of Hurricane Ivan has been passing through eastern Ohio since about 4am this morning. Some have measured 6 to 8 inches in the Guernsey and Belmont counties since the rain started. This is in addition to the flooding we received last week due to the remnants of Hurricane Frances.

I haven't left the house today since I had to catch up on my sleep. I wouldn't have anyway, since there's no point in trying to add to the chaos by sightseeing.

I've been in contact with other ham radio operators here locally, and they've had some interesting reports. This is just a few of the problems we've been encountering:

- State Route 22 is flooded east of Cambridge near Grandview Rd

- Quaker City is "under 3 ft of water"

- Savage Rd in Adams Township taking on water

- Evacuations and rescues have been happening due to the rising flood waters
