## Resource

Cincinnati’s floodgate failed to close during a historic, one-thousand-year storm that dumped over six inches of rain in an hour, leaving streets submerged and basements flooded. While officials investigate whether the gate malfunctioned or was simply overwhelmed, experts say the sheer volume of water likely exceeded even a fully functional system. Residents and businesses, many of whom trusted flood protection, now face costly cleanup—and questions about whether any measures could have truly prevented the devastation.
