33 The entire valley along Ohio Brush Creek is flooded. This stage would exceed the flood of record of 31.15 feet. Long stretches of Route 348 in Tiffin and Brush Creek Townships are underwater, as well as several secondary roads in the valley. Water begins to cover the Route 125 Bridge east of West Union, with low sections of Route 125 already covered. Low-lying homes and businesses near West Union become flooded.
31.2 Major flooding occurs along State Route 348 and Starley Gustin Road in Tiffin and Brush Creek Townships. This is the flood of record.
