Beams Used to Close Flood Gates Stolen
`It’s a good thing Huntington didn’t need to close it’s flood gates as the Ohio River flooded this week because some of the equipment used to do so has been stolen.
When a floodgate is closed, aluminum beams are stacked on top of each other to the desired height, said Dave Maynard, the floodwall’s superintendent. [..]
About 70 aluminum beams have been stolen from storage buildings along the floodwall over the past 18 months, Maynard said.’
