| May 2011 | Flood | Cave In Rock | $150,000 | Major flooding continued on the Ohio River from April. Based on data from river gages in nearby Pope and Gallatin Counties, the flood crest of 2011 was two to three feet higher than the 1997 flood. This was still 6 to 9 feet lower than the record crest set in 1937. The activation of the New Madrid Floodway by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spared Hardin County from an even higher crest that would have inundated even larger areas of the county. With the detonation of the Mississippi River levee at Birds Point, Missouri, the Ohio River stopped rising or rose much more slowly. At least a few riverfront homes in Elizabethtown were flooded up to two feet deep. A few homes in Cave-In-Rock were flooded, and much of the rest of the community was sandbagged. Portions of Illinois Route 1 were closed. A section of Highway 146 was sandbagged to keep it open. A couple of churches were sandbagged in Cave-In-Rock and Elizabethtown. The oldest Baptist church in Illinois sustained flooding damage in Elizabethtown. The National Guard was activated to assist with sandbagging. Flood gates were installed at Rosiclare. Parks and other recreational facilities outside of the levee protection system were flooded. County schools were closed. The ferry from Cave-In-Rock to Crittenden County, KY was shut down. |
