Loveland, Ohio – At 7:26 PM Tuesday, Loveland Madeira Road was without the hint of what it turned into by 7:34 PM. It was not the proverbial “torrential downpour” where windshield wipers couldn’t keep up or visibility poor, but in only eight minutes the roadway and a local parking lot were like you see in these photos. The flooding was fed by rain coming down Valley View Lane and from the hillside above the Loveland Shopping Center.
The Loveland Police Department arrived within those eight minutes and prevented more vehicles from navigating the rapidly rising water.
This is the second time in recent months the infrastructure in the area was unable to handle a moderate storm. It did not appear the water entered any of the numerous businesses in the area.
