Things are getting back to normal

After a long week of flooded roads, closed businesses and frayed nerves for many, things in northern Tuscarawas county are returning back to normal for some.
State Rt 212 reopened at the I-77 interchange Thursday evening which was a welcome sign for many as they no longer had to circumnavigate the back roads of east-central Ohio trying to get somewhere that normally would have taken only minutes to accomplish. Add to that, St Rt 800 from Mineral City to 7 Mile Drive also reopened giving access for those folks to get back and forth. We also found out tonight that the residents of Michael Lane have a dry road to get in and out their development too. Now all that's left besides getting the back roads dry is getting access to the schools so buses can get moving and the kids that are currently climbing the walls back into their desks.
So with things slowly getting back to normal in this dam(med) river valley, I want to thank all of the loyal readers of this blog for stopping in from time to time to get the skinny on what's been happening around here. I will continue to update as things occur. Hopefully nothing else will, but there are still unanswered questions about why this has been allowed to happen again.
