.Repeating rounds of showers and thunderstorms over the past 72
hours, ending at 8 AM this morning, has brought copious rainfall to
eastern, northern central, and much of western Indiana.  Maximum
radar estimates across a swath from Clinton and Howard counties
north of Indianapolis, east-southeast and southeast to Randolph and
Decatur counties, show roughly six to 12.5 inches of rain has
fallen!  This has led to widespread flooding, some of it historic.

on the White River at Ravenswood and points upstream. Crests
downstream are currently predicted to stay under moderate flood
stage as of Friday afternoon, but it will be a close call at
