As expected, rain on Saturday caused drivers problems in parts of northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan but the roads weren’t as bad as they could have been.
In Toledo, wet basements were a bigger problems than wet roads.
City of Toledo spokesman Ignazio Messina said creeks and ditches were running full, however, as of 3 p.m. pumps set up on Middlesex Rd. and Bennett Park were not needed to run.
Toledo crews were checking wet basements as the rain soaked through the ground and private drains became overloaded.
Messina says all wet basement complaints were private.
The City of Findlay also issued a flood warning to extend through Sunday evening for Eagle Creek above Findlay.
Eagle Creek is forecast to rise above flood stage early on Sunday and rise to near 10 feet. The river is expected to fall below flood stage by Sunday afternoon.
