White River Flooding

This is what Batesville looks like after all the rain. The White River is forecasted to crest tonight about 1' higher than these pictures.

Yes it has been higher. The last time was 1982. I did not live here then but I think it got about 1.5' higher. Back in the 20's or 30's it got about 6' higher.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, and sorry about the clean up mess!!
