Why it matters
Crooked Creek is the key waterway for storm water drainage in Point Pleasant. The washout has resulted in a side track near the river being closed, and repairs are currently delayed because the Ohio River is running too high and swift.
Flooding along the Ohio River in Mason County, Ohio, caused a landslide near a railroad track line, prompting a state of emergency.
