INDIANAPOLIS | The National Weather Service issued multiple flood warnings on 10 May 2026 for parts of southern Indiana, including areas in Daviess, Greene, Knox, Gibson, Pike, Lawrence, Martin, Jackson and Washington counties.
The warnings involve ongoing flood concerns on roads, low-lying areas and waterways in the affected areas. Residents should avoid flooded roads, follow local emergency guidance and monitor official National Weather Service updates as conditions change.
The NWS warning language remains direct: turn around, don’t drown. Most flood-related deaths occur in vehicles, and water over a road can be deeper, faster or more damaging than it appears. The risk is higher at night, when flooded pavement, washed-out shoulders and moving water are harder to see.
Current warning information included several county groupings and expiration times:
- Daviess, Greene and Knox counties: Flood Warning in effect until 12:00 p.m. EDT on 11 May 2026.
- Daviess, Gibson, Knox and Pike counties: Flood Warning in effect until 6:17 a.m. EDT on 13 May 2026.
- Daviess, Gibson, Knox and Pike counties: Flood Warning in effect until 6:30 p.m. EDT on 15 May 2026.
- Gibson and Knox counties: Flood Warning in effect until 11:00 p.m. EDT on 16 May 2026.
- Lawrence and Martin counties: Flood Warning in effect until 2:00 p.m. EDT on 12 May 2026.
- Jackson, Lawrence and Washington counties: Flood Warning in effect until 3:00 p.m. EDT on 12 May 2026.
People in the affected counties should keep phones charged, check nearby road conditions before traveling and avoid low-water crossings. Drivers should never move barricades or attempt to cross water-covered roads.
Households near streams, rivers or low-lying areas should review where to move vehicles, pets, medicine and important documents if water rises. Anyone who receives a local evacuation or road-closure notice should follow instructions from county emergency managers and public safety officials.
CGN News will continue to monitor official National Weather Service alerts and updates.
