The exact time is unknown, but the victim chose to stay in his home near the river when moderate to major flooding was ongoing. He was found 5 days later having drowned.

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 Garden City (39.2029, -85.9347).
