DELUGE OF RAIN BRINGS STREET FLOODING, ROAD CLOSURES

(Whitewater Valley)--A very large amount of rain came down in a very short time Thursday afternoon and resulted in street flooding to a level that some Richmond residents said they had never before seen.  The Reeveston area of Richmond had water rise quickly.  Multiple cars became stranded as they tried to go through ponded water at South 23rd and Reeveston.  On South G Street, an image shows water up to the window of a parked car.  Water also crossed New Paris Pike near Porterfield Road.  County officials say New Paris Pike remained closed Friday morning.  In Union County, the gate at the bridge on Clifton Road over the Whitewater River was closed Friday morning.  The dry fords were also closed.
