Sunshine and Flood Warning.

Enjoy the sunshine! I see people out running and walking today. Beware that the "Flood Warning" remains in effect until 8:15pm tonight. Rivers, creeks and streams will continue to rise downstream and in low-lying areas. According the National Weather Service Office in Indianapolis, we receive nearly 5 inches of rain and so the water has to go somewhere.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.
