ACROSS MAINLY FLOYD...HARRISON AND CLARK COUNTIES IN INDIANA.
NUMEROUS WATER RESCUES HAVE ALSO BEEN REPORTED IN THESE LOCATIONS.

SPOTTERS HAVE REPORTED OVER FOUR INCHES OF RAINFALL IN THE PAST FEW
HOURS IN CLARKSVILLE INDIANA...ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF
OVER THREE INCHES OF RAINFALL IN LOCATIONS SUCH AS
