Indianapolis, IN – Flooding continues to wreak havoc across Indiana, with the National Weather Service extending a flood warning for the East Fork White River, particularly near Rivervale. The river stage is expected to crest at 35.8 feet Tuesday, with major flooding expected until at least April 16.
