New Miami, Butler cope with heavy rains
By Jen Roppel, Cox News Service
HAMILTON — Mud-caked roadways and front yards, fire hoses pumping water out
of basements and crawl spaces Monday were indicators of torrential rains
that caused the evacuation of 50 homes and school closings in New Miami.
The clean-up in New Miami, a village of about 2,500 residents, provided a
sobering glimpse of the damage caused throughout Butler County by this past
weekend’s rainfall.
Across the county, dozens of homes were damaged, part of one road collapsed
while many others were closed, some indefinitely.
Meanwhile, the Hamilton Low Dam on the Great Miami River had as much as
seven times the average amount of water spilling over it on Monday and the
American Red Cross aided nearly 30 families in the wake of nearly 2 inches
of rain that was dumped across the area this past weekend, officials said.
