Additional notes
The Great Miami River below
Miamisburg (about 4 miles upstream of Franklin)
crested at 21.5 feet on January 7, 2005, which was categorized as
moderate flooding, and just 6 inches shy of
major flooding. As seen here, moderate flooding of a river
results in some inundation of structures and roads near rivers, and may
require some evacuations of people and transfer of property to
higher ground.
This was the highest crest on record at Miamisburg (surpassing the
previous record of 19.8 feet set just the previous year on January 5,
2004).

Safety Note:
The man in this picture was ensuring that the propane tank was
secure. Flood waters can carry or rupture tanks and other objects,
resulting in dangerous chemicals floating downstream and causing serious
health risks. When a river flood warning is issued, secure or
remove any objects that may result in flood waters becoming contaminated
by hazardous materials.
