Ongoing Flooding

We'll get a respectable total but it looks like the heavy axis is going to stay just south of here. Close though...it's only like a county away.

Could be a dangerous period coming up as most rivers will probably be starting higher for the midweek event than they were for today's event. Hopefully additional rains aren't too crazy.

Over an inch already here with atleast that still to come. Indy has been hammered for hours.

Radar has 2"+ From New Castle to Union City. Looks like .5"-1" north of SR 37 with heavier totals south. I've heard some reports of street flooding over this way, not many yet though.

The White River north of Noblesville is making a very slow climb right now, only a couple of inches so far. Nora has climbed 6" in 4 hours. Stony Creek outside Noblesville has climbed a foot in 4 hours.
