....25.68 feet abd we gave thunderstorms coming at us out of the southwest tonight. The sun came out this afternoon and I though it was all over.... but NO!!! Here's what the flood warning statement says:
...A FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR PORTIONS OF THE FOLLOWING RIVERS...

BIG BLUE RIVER...EAST FORK WHITE RIVER...EEL RIVER...MUSCATATUCK RIVER...SUGAR CREEK...TIPPECANOE RIVER...WABASH RIVER...WHITE RIVER...

.WIDESPREAD RIVER FLOODING WILL RETURN...OR CONTINUE...ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA BY WEDNESDAY. NEAR MAJOR FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR ACROSS SOUTHWEST INDIANA AND SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS WITH SOME AREAS EXCEEDEDING MAJOR FLOOD STAGE.

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OF BETWEEN 2 AND 4 INCHES IS POSSIBLE ACROSS INDIANA BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF INDIANA.

RAINFALL OF THIS MAGNITUDE WILL CAUSE RIVER LEVELS ON THE LOWEST REACHES OF THE EAST FORK WHITE...WHITE AND WABASH RIVERS TO APPROACH LEVELS SEEN IN JANUARY 2005. ADDITIONALLY...SIGNIFICANT FLOODING WILL FOLLOW ON THE WABASH RIVER FROM LAFAYETTE TO VINCENNES. OTHER RIVERS ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA WILL RISE TO LEVELS SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS SEEN IN MARCH OR APRIL...OR EVEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER.


So much for my cousin's idea of planting corn in the bottoms this year. I guess they will have to even revise up that expectation. The January 2005 flood stage was over 26 feet. And I just heard on NOAH weather radio that they might be upping the river here to 2008 levels.

It has to stop raining sometime....
