Preparing for Strong, Ready, and Resilient Communities

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

As our office continues to monitor the potential for severe weather today and tonight, it's always good to remind everyone to have multiple ways to receive severe weather alerts.

Rivers will remain above flood stage through the weekend. These are dangerous conditions. No one should be on or near the rivers during flooding.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

@mbutterfly32411 This should read 19K cfs, or 19,000 cubic feet per second. How fast the river is flowing. Maumee River normally flows around 2-3,000 cfs.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

Stay out of the Maumee River. Water is flowing at 19K fps, making the current very fast, high, and dangerous. Tree limbs and woody debris create “strainers” which can trap and kill you. Stay safe during flood conditions.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

This should read 19K cfs, or 19,000 cubic feet per second. This measures the volume of water over a specific point, or how fast the river is flowing. Normal is 2-3,000 cfs.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

@mbutterfly32411 That should read 19K cfs, which means 19,000 cubic feet per second. cfs measures the volume of water over a specific place, or the rate of flow.

St Mary’s River is at minor flood stage of 17 ft. Expect it to remain high through the weekend. Looks are deceiving, this water is moving with force and turbulence underneath the surface creating dangerous conditions. Stay away from all of our rivers when in flood stage

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

Woody debris collects near the Hosey Dam through the year, then is dislodged during flooding to create hazards downstream along the Maumee River. These move at high speed with the fast current making it too dangerous for any activity on or near the river. Think safety first.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

Expect our rivers to remain high all weekend long. These are dangerous conditions. No one should be in or near the rivers. Choose safety first.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

Crest predictions for the Maumee River are now for 20 ft early Monday morning. Avoid our swollen rivers all weekend. These are dangerous conditions.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

Caution trail floods periodically. Avoid the Maumee Pathway and River area due to minor flooding. Expect another foot of flooding before the Maumee crests at 18.6 ft Friday morning. Do not enter flood waters.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

Do not drive around barricades. They are there to keep you safe. Parrott Rd EO Hartzell Rd is closed due to high water, and getting higher today.

[Allen County INfo @allencountyinfo]

Current Road Closures in Allen County due to high water as of 4/1/2026 at 8:30 AM. These roads are not passable. Find an alternate route.
Arcola Road from Yellow River to O'Day Road
Schlatter Road from Tonkel Road to Viberg Road
Wheelock Road & Eby Road

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

Dozens of wires down around the county with more falling every minute. Treat every downed wire as a live electrical wire. Keep a safe distance. Let the experts sort out the type.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

Turn Around, Don't Drown. 12" of moving water will cause most cars and small SUVs to lose traction, stall, and be swept off of the road. The roadway itself may have failed under the water creating an unseen risk. Do not enter flooded roadways.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

Don't wait and see during a watch. Use that time to consider possible actions and prepare for the what if. It's too late to prepare when a warning is issued... it's already here.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

Allen County, IN will NOT activate our outdoor emergency warning sirens as part of today's statewide drill. Weather conditions are too close to the real thing.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

Have multiple LOCAL sources of severe weather info. Then use this information to make good decisions appropriate for you and your family.

[AC Office of Emergency Management @ACHomeland]

Stay alert for changing weather conditions. Have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, including phone alerts, local meteorologists, and a NOAA weather radio.
