Jumpy, shaky a little blurry in imagery and contrast High water menaces renewed destruction as the Ohio River reaches flood stage, driving many families from Wheeling Island to refuge on the mainland. The angry waters cover many square miles of rich farmland. Homes surrounded by flood waters, swollen river, people and parked cars on bridge, people using boats along flooded streets.
