The wider storm

Repeated rounds of moderate to heavy rainfall across the entire Ohio River basin totaled between 8 to 9 inches across southern Indiana from February 15 to February 28. These totals were generally 7+ inches, or 200 to 400% of normal values for mid to late February. The large areal extent of the excessive rainfall led to significant rises on area rivers, including the Ohio River. This resulted in numerous flash flood reports across all of the southern Indiana counties including road closures, road washouts and water rescues.

Began near Scottsburg (38.6900, -85.7800).
