Minor flooding occurred on the Ohio River. Numerous secondary roads in low-lying bottomlands were underwater. One motorist died after driving down a flooded road in a remote area adjacent to Audubon State Park. The body of the 55-year-old man was found in the water near his truck about 17 days after he went missing. A few state roads were closed near the river, including Highways 268, 811, and 136.
