Reports are a statement from the Army Corps at 5:30.
Unconfirmed reports according to John Corby on WTVN:
--Precautions taking place at Battelle Laboratories in Columbus, which is on the Olentangy. Equipment to be moved to higher floors.
--Sandbagging is reportedly taking place at the American Electric Power headquarters in downtown Columbus.
--Evacuations along Neil Avenue in Columbus.
I drove by the Olentangy earlier in Columbus. It is high. Releases of water will have a huge impact.
