Flooding Concerns in Celina

CELINA -- Rain continues to fall in West Central Ohio and more is expected throughout the night.

A flood watch is in effect until Friday morning for Darke, Shelby, Logan, Auglaize and Mercer counties.

We talked with Mike Robbins, EMA director of Mercer County.
 
Robbins says now is the time for homeowners to prepare for flooding because more rain is expected early next week.

He says homeowners especially in low lying areas need to prepare.

The Mercer County Sheriffs Department and emergency crews responded Thursday morning to a woman who tried to drive on a county road covered with water.

We're told it was a minor rescue, but for Robbins it's a reminder to everyone to turn around if there's water on the roadways.

Robbins says a few roads may need to be shut down Thursday night because of potential flooding.

He says keep an eye out for high water signs.
