• Harrison small business begins cleanup after historic flooding, faces costly damage (wcpo.com) — Historic flooding along the Whitewater River left Jake's Landing in Harrison with an estimated $50,000–$60,000 in damage after the river crested above 25 feet. Owner Jeff Sunberg and dozens of volunteers are racing to clean up so a planned music festival and other business activity can still move forward, and he's urging residents to support all local businesses hit by the high water.
