Here is the latest from emergency management from White and Carroll Counties....the Norway Dam water level is approximately 8,400 cfs and the Oakdale Dam is close to 9,901 cfs. The flood watch continues but the rising water has slowed down dramatically and a flood warning is not anticipated at this time. Still make sure to monitor the water levels overnight just in case and have a plan B to get to higher ground. At this time homes are not expected to be impacted by flood waters in these areas and we are done with the rain!
Latest from Tippecanoe County Emergency Management
The Wabash River: News not so good
River level is up to 15.47 feet and rising rapidly. A flood crest close to 20 feet is still anticipated on Friday afternoon which would cause moderate flooding. This will impact Indiana 25 and State Road 225 in the Battle Ground area. State Road 43 should remain open as long as the water stays below 22 feet. This will be monitored on an hourly basis until Friday.
There are tons of reports of debris and trees down on county roads and it is very hard to see out there at night. This is dangerous and a level 3 travel advisory will continue through the rest of the night. Power outages continue in many areas and with colder temperatures now ready to move in make sure you have a warm place to stay. The wind has made it very tough on utility crews trying to fix the problem.
The winds are still howling but the worst is over! I am going to get ready for the 11 p.m. Thanks for all your reports. They have given me my second wind!!

Hey all check out all the school delays! and one poster did not think it would happen due to the high winds and rain..
I was not shocked to see Frankfort Schools on delay. 28 Is still really flooded out by the High School. Hope I can get to Wal-mart sometime tomorrow..Everyone have a safe night and becareful in the morning.
Justin, you are right. Mike is great. My son lives in Avon and he has lots of home damage from the wind. Anyone else hearing the windmill power lines singing up here in Benton County. We did when trying to walk the dog tonight. Eerie. Be safe out there.
Seems like the wind has let up some here in Attica.
Temp 36.1
Dewpoint 31
Humidity 83%
We lost power tonight and just got it back recently. My lap top has no working battery....so it is not operational in a power outage. Sucks to be me! LOL!
I had to go to Kokomo tonight....BIG MISTAKE! Driving a Trailblazer in 60 mph gusts isn't safe!!!! We have had 3.30 inches of rain.....and our country roads are flooded. Hence the school delay for me tomorrow. I did measure a wind gust around 9:30 of 55 mph.....
Schools may not be able to open in Clinton and Tipton Counties tomorrow.....those roads are still soaked!!! My current temp is 33 degrees!

Well Bloggers I got to get to sleep! Tomorrow will be a good day to clean up any mess you may have with Partly cloudy skies and highs around 48* degrees.
Have a good one!
Justin.
Good point Justin.....yes, after about 10AM....should be good clean up weather....winds should be managable by then, and no more rain!
WATCH THE ROADS IN THE MORNING!!!!!

Thank you for all your hard work Mike and PLEASE keep us posted on the Wabash River ~ especially since NIPSCO keeps dumping MORE water into the already swollen river.
I sure hope with NIPSCO adding more water - those of us on the Wabash won't be screwed again and have to evacuate.
Spring must be on it's way! A small flock of Sand Hill Cranes flew over our church in Fishers this afternoon (it is located across from Conner Prarie)
