Six Dead as Indiana Endures Worst Flooding in Over 30 Years

At least six people died in Indiana after storms dumped over 11 inches of rain in two days, the National Weather Service said. The White River in Indianapolis overflowed its banks, producing the worst flooding in more than 30 years, per Mayor Joe Hogsett. Some areas hit 100-year flood marks. Victims included a four-year-old child and a woman who drove into floodwaters. President Trump indicated he will approve a federal emergency declaration, unlocking FEMA assistance. The disaster follows a June declaration covering 63 counties.
