The region received a record amount of rainfall yesterday, with 1.31 inches recorded at CVG, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, Ohio. It breaks the previous record set in 1999.

High water is covering some roads Friday morning in Franklin County, where schools are on a two-hour delay.

Motorists are also reporting freezing of water on some roads, as temperatures dropped well below freezing overnight.
