BEAVERCREEK TWP., Greene County — Alpha Performance, a Beavercreek Twp. auto business, was cleaning up after flood waters rushed into the shop on Dayton Xenia Road Sunday night.
“We’re used to the area and the problems it has,” owner Neil Marshall said as they were cleaning up Monday. “We built the building. This building can easily handle about three feet of water.”
Marshall said the business was built on a flood plain in 1980, when he started the business.

Lana Bartley, Marshall’s fiance, also remembers when the flooding was so bad it was up to his waist. She was more concerned with what was actually in the water.
“I asked him if there were any mice or snakes and once came on each side of me just as he said it,” Bartley said.
Marshall said he will be continuing to monitor the flood levels as water begins to recede.
