WVXU's Nick Swartsell is on the scene at the Duck Creek flood gate, which failed to close the last time there was flash flooding in the area about three weeks ago.

"Water is high through the channel but not the worst we've seen," he reports. "A few traffic lights out and some businesses without power in Oakley but no major damage apparent yet."

WCPO Chief Meteorologist Steve Raleigh says despite all the rain, there have been few flood warnings.

"In some areas it's quite possible these storms are moving so fast — keep in mind they're moving at 50 to maybe 70 miles an hour — they're moving so fast they didn't even have time to accumulate that kind of rain."
