Thunderstorms moved through the area Tuesday afternoon, dumping a heavy amount of rain in Putnam County in a short amount of time causing yards and fields to flood, and multiple roads to be closed due to high water This prompted Sheriff Brian Siefker to issue a release warning motorists to not drive through high water.

A few roads in low-lying areas around West Central Ohio are impassable after rivers and creeks breached their banks. The Allen County Engineer’s Office says that Dutch Hollow and Ridge Roads in Sugar Creek Township have been closed because of high water from the Ottawa River. The National Weather Service in Northern Indiana says the Blanchard River in Ottawa is expected to crest Tuesday and the Auglaize River at Ft. Jennings will crest Monday both at minor flood stages.

First responders want to emphasis the dangers high and swiftly moving waters can bring. 

Rain, rain, go away. That's what many of us have been saying since Wednesday night when the rain began.
