Many central Ohio counties are under a Flood Watch until Tuesday evening.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Flooded roads were an issue for many central Ohioans on theirCity Operations Administrator Gary Browning said the flooding was largely caused by debris from Interstate 270 and the tree line coming down the hill and clogging a drainage area.
“This particular area here starting where I-270 is at had water was ponding up in places that was about two feet deep. That water, and the current moving it, brought debris from the tree line and also the freeway which the flowed into the storm sewer system causing the lines to be blocked,” Browning said.
Crews from the city and the Ohio Department of Transportation spent hours clearing the area on Monday.Antonio Contreras woke up to see his cul-de-sac turned into a pond. “It is quite a surprise for a Monday. It was raining all last night and I could hear there was something going on and when I woke up this morning, I came out and this is what we found. It is quite a change of scenery for the neighborhood,” he said.Drivers were also warned to avoid some areas by the airport due to high water.“That stuff gets into the storm drains, blocks the storm drains.
