A prolonged flooding event on the Ohio river, that began in the middle of February, continued into March at Shawneetown, Olmsted, and Cairo. Minor flooding of bottomland continued at all three locations. Heavy rainfall in the middle of February was the cause of rising river levels which lowered just below flood stage at all three sites from the afternoon of the 1st to the early morning of the 2nd.
