What the National Weather Service wrote

Water flowing over a bridge on State Road 135. Several water rescues completed. Total rainfall ranged from 2.6 to 3.4 inches.

The wider storm

The final round of rain in a stretch of 4 days brought rain amounts of 2-4.5 inches of rain to central Indiana in addition to the 3-5 inches that had fallen. This led to additional widespread flash flooding and exacerbated ongoing creek and river flooding to a point that many main stem rivers ended up reaching major flood stage.

Began near Nashville (39.1726, -86.2712).
