By Aprile Rickert Verified| Louisville Public Media Verified Streets near the Ohio River in Utica were caked with dirt Monday afternoon. Big piles of drywall, flooring and furniture ruined by flood waters sat near property lines. It’s the start of what many residents say will be a long cleanup. Town officials issued an emergency declaration ahead of the flooding, and closed the town to visitors without business there for around a week. Residents moved their belongings to higher ground and found other places to stay as the waters rose.
By Aprile Rickert Verified| Louisville Public Media Verified Mike Morrow has lived in Utica all his life — 70 years, within three blocks. He’s not a stranger to what the Ohio River can do. Morrow was a kid in the 1964 flood. He remembers thinking it was an adventure, and also getting in trouble for playing in the backwater. In 1997, he got four feet of water in his home. In 2018, there was a lot of damage from just seven inches of water. Morrow watched the water level around his house from a distance this week.
