In case any of you have seen reports of severe flooding in central Indiana, it 
is the worst in nearly 100 years. 16 inches of rain fell in about 3 days(11 of 
that in a 4 hour period). I am one of the fortunate ones that only had one 
corner of my basement shop (an area about 8x12; plus other areas of the 
basement) under water and only damage was to some wood shelves. I am one of the 
few with power, as about 90% of the town has no power. I was able to borrow a 
neighbors shop vac, but had to wade through knee deep water in the parking lot 
of the local ACE Hardware to get a high velocity fan to put in the shop to dry 
the carpet. Most major highways are closed and damaged by high water and even 
interstate 70 will be closed until Monday. The state is virtually shut down 
from north to south and many point inbetween. Tens of tHousands of people have 
been evacuated in the center of the state due to deep water in their homes. Car 
lots, churches, resturaunts and other businesses are und
 er water. The sounds of helicopters, sirens and air boats really give the area 
a sur-real feeling. FEMA and State rescue people are here and people are 
staying in local schools and churches that are dry. My husband works for the 
local radio station and he has broadcast live at the EMA station all day. 
Really strange weather this year, but I thank God we are all safe!  Debbie
