Summary: IN-KY WSC continues response to ongoing flooding in Indiana

The Indianapolis office of the Indiana-Kentucky Water Science Center (INKY WSC) is in the fourth day of flood response. The lower Patoka River just crossed into major category flooding and is still rising. Larger basins like the Wabash and White Rivers are only in minor category levels at this time. Another round of heavy rain is forecast to pass over the majority of the state within the next 36 hours.

The IN-KY WSC has 4 crews (8 people) out making discharge measurements and verifying gages in affected areas of the state. One gage may have impaired data from an orifice line that was damaged. Communication has been ongoing with the National Weather Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers throughout the event.
