Full Notification

All state roads and interstates have been reopened today in the Pendleton District after several road closures yesterday from the heavy rains. Remember,flash flooding can occur even after just a few minutes of heavy rainfall.

If you find yourself stranded in water, act fast. Get yourself and everyone in your vehicle out of their seatbelt and out a window onto the roof of the car. Remember; call 9-1-1 AFTER you reach the top of your vehicle. Indiana State Police divers advise to only swim for it if you absolutely have to, and don’t swim against the current. Make sure you’re a survivor, NOT a victim.
