US · Published Aug 12, 2026
Heavy rainfall overnight on August 10-11, 2026, caused significant flooding in Crooksville and Roseville, Ohio.
Approximately five inches of rain fell in the area, leading to water levels rising over sidewalks and roads, including West Main Street in Crooksville and West Athens Road near Ohio 93 in Roseville.

Impact & Risks

The flooding has caused widespread disruption in Muskingum and Perry counties, with homes and vehicles submerged and power outages reported. Residents in low-lying areas, particularly near Moxahala Creek, were most affected. The closure of key roads, including West Athens Road and Ceramic Road, has hindered transportation and emergency response efforts. The risk of further damage remains if additional rainfall occurs, and the cleanup process is expected to take time.
