Flash Flood in Monroe County, Indiana

Rainfall, reported as great as 5.80 inches at the Bloomington Indiana University COOP station, produced flash flooding across the Bloomington area.

A car's engine was flooded in about a foot of standing water on South Walnut Street at East Dodds Street. Flooding also occurred on Indiana Avenue and the west side of the city on Liberty Drive.

A couple rounds of scattered heavy rains from late on the 28th through the morning of the 29th brought 1 to 2 inches of rainfall, to several areas from Bloomington into parts of Brown County and Lawrence County. Soon after, more impressive rainfall rates occurred over the same areas from the 29th evening into very early on the 30th, where an additional 3 to 6 inches of rainfall fell on a few local areas.

Resultant totals of 3 to 7 inches over a broad area from Bloomington and Nashville, southwest to northern portions of both Daviess County and Lawrence County, produced scattered flooding. Flash flooding occurred in several embedded areas, with water flowing over roads. Most notable was water up to a foot deep on the south side of Bloomington.
