Severe weather alerts have been issued for several counties in Indiana as the National Weather Service (NWS) warns of potential flooding due to heavy rainfall. The flood warnings, which began on May 10, are expected to remain in effect until mid-May, with specific expiration times varying by location.
Counties affected include Daviess, Greene, Knox, Gibson, Pike, Jackson, Lawrence, and Washington. Residents are advised to turn around and not attempt to drive through flooded roads, as most flood-related fatalities occur in vehicles. Caution is especially important at night when visibility is reduced and dangers are harder to recognize.
The NWS has indicated that the next update regarding these warnings will be issued on Monday morning around 11:45 AM EDT. Additional information can be found on the NWS website.
As the situation develops, residents are encouraged to stay informed through official weather alerts and local emergency-management guidance.
