Not much new news to report tonight. The river levels in northern Tuscarawas County continue to drop at a fairly steady pace. Unfortunately, folks just south of the dam are now affected by water in their homes. I guess there is no easy answer to this situation.
Hopefully later tomorrow the water levels will be low enough to open the interchange to I-77. It appears that it's getting close by the look of things. You can almost walk right down the center of the road to the other side without getting wet. It must also be low enough for the folks at the Bolivar Wendy's. For the past week they had posted on their sign that they would return when the water recedes. Tonight the sign reads, "See you Thursday".
Work continues in haste at the Zoar Levee also this evening. Crews continue their 24 hour a day crusade to bring in loads of dirt and gravel to shore up the eroding levee. With the water falling rapidly, hopefully their efforts will save the historic village from any further damage.
