WHITEWATER VALLEY ESCAPES DESTRUCTIVE WEATHER

(Whitewater Valley)--The Whitewater Valley on Tuesday escaped the destructive weather that meteorologists had said was a strong possibility.  Many schools dismissed early in anticipation of severe weather that never materialized.  There were, though, some effects.  Strong winds did some structural damage to several sheds and barns in the Smryna Road area of Wayne County.  There was also minor street flooding in several areas.  The Whitewater River at Alpine crested just below flood stage early Wednesday morning.
