Default Vermilion River/My Marina Flooding

Our marina is on the Vermilion River in Vermilion, Ohio. It has started to
flood due to the excessive rain we have had over the past 3 days.

These pictures were taken this morning:

current and high water)

level is 4 feet below)

The water level is expected to crest sometime later today. Our marina has
been on top of things all night and all day, checking the boats and
adjusting dock lines when needed. Being the worry wart that I am I will be
probably be back later today to check the boat again.
