Round 1 coming up!

We already have 85 in county without power due to wind and front is a hour or so away yet. They are predicting East fork of the White River to come up at Bedford 28.5, Williams, 19’ and Shoals 25.5’. predictions of anywhere from 5 inches to 10” thru Sunday. Patoka is 6.2’ above winter pool from last storm, Monroe is 3.5’ above summer pool, Cat island Coon still tad above winter pool but will shoot up due to none will be able to discharge due to flooded rivers including the Ohio,,Everybody stay safe.

Yep, I'm on the north edge of the system in Wabash county and it would appear the white bass and crappie run at Hogsback is all but ruined this year .And here silly me took the third week of April off work to fish. I doubt they will get it drawn down low enough before cutting off the spillway. Forecast says another 2" on Friday . Carry on.

I got lucky…no sevear 60 or 70 mph winds..winds about 30. Rain super heavy at times,,lots of lightning and thunder,,we are still going to have rains till 6 am and so far 2.4 inches of rain in rain gage…Round 2 late tomorrow aternoon/evening.

It was rough here last night with sirens going off and roaring winds like we’ve never seen or felt. Spent a lot of time between the bed and our basement safe space….im tired….LOL

2.6” for the nite for me. River shot up over 5 ft and going higher as time progresses. I’m sure others got more rain south and east of me as well as high wind damage being reported. Over 400 around me without power in the pretty remote part of SW Indiana. I’m one of the lucky ones so far with power still on. One of our Res- x Monroe shot up a foot..6000 cfs inflow…that’s a ton for that’s 10,500 acre Res.

West central Indiana here(Parke county) we got really strong winds but no damage anywhere close and only .66 in of rain, power went out for about 5 seconds.. supposed to get another 3-5 in by Sunday though.

See below

1.5 of rain at my place. We are sort of sheltered from the wind most days, but it was howling in the ridgeline above us.

It did split & blow a tree down in my mom's yard that I'll take care of when it dries out some. At 89 chain sawing is not her line of work.

Picked up 6/10 in round 2..most of the rain stay just south of me. patoka got 1.7. My 48 hr total is 3.2” so far. Radar is showing we get pounded this afternoon with front moving alittle north. Monroe now has 11000 cfs going into it. East Fork of White at Bedford is going to shoot up Wednesday to 33’ high. Severe flooding from Seymour to Shoals coming later on. At least we didn’t have any high winds. Our REMC is busting their butts, Yesterday over 350 without power….now zero. They have a rough job in some of this rough hill country.

We got almost 2.5 last night for a total of just under 4" so far.

Got another inch overnight, still drizzling now. Mississinewa Res. at 733' and rising on its way to the 737' summer pool mark. River at 9' at hogsback , around 2' is normal during a good fishing year. Still time, but not looking good for river fishing white bass and crappie. :banghead

4 inches of rain so far and more on the way. KY and TN have really gotten it bad in places…+Cross++Cross+

2” more here overnight and still steady rain and more to come all dang day. Wish it would quit as its ugly and now total is 5.2” since Wednesday.

We've received 4-1/2" total so far. We lucked out and avoided any heavy rain last night apparently. Prayers going out to everyone in harm's way.

Serval places north of me along and below I 70 got over 6 inches last night. I 70 is flooded and shut down east of Cloverdale.. We are going to get a lot more rain all day thru Sunday. Monroe res. Is our largest resivour in Indiana. It’s shot up 7.9’ above summer pool and now has 12,500 cfs going in it. For Indiana that’s a lot. You guys in KY and TN that’s a drop in the bucket for the size of your rivers and bodies of water. We don’t have enough lakes in Indiana for the amount of people that boat and fish to go around like all the states bordering Indiana. I have fished about every lake in Ky and TN in my lifetime. Now,,,don’t travel as much so just fish out of a 16’ Jon boat and gave up the bass boats quite a few years ago.

We have gotten 2.56 inches since 2pm yesterday with more to come this afternoon/tonite.

Another 0.8” and dumped the rain gage and total so far is an even 6.0 inches so far.

We are up to 3.69 in now and still raining.

1.1” in rain gage this morning. My total is 7.1”. Maybe this crap is over with as it looks like maybe nothing but sprinkle or very lite showers rest of the day. Glad it’s about over with. Prayers are with those that have gotten hammered and flooded by all this ugly weather.

We got another 1.5 over the last 24 hors for a total of just a hair over 6".

Considering ourselves lucky that nothing was damaged or lost.

I am not sure I have ever seen where 21,212 cfs ever went into Monroe at all at once raising it another 2.9’ overnite and now is 10.8’ above summer pool. 7.2 ft in height more and I think it will go over emergency spillway.

Cataract went up 8.4’ last nite to 21’ above summer pool, Raccoon went up 7.2 ft overnite to summer pool or just above it.

Sorry..it wouldn’t let me post a article as it wasn’t supported

you have a little over 2 weeks yet, 2" on friday though? i'm just a little north of you (Huntington county) and will be hitting the H-bend at the sal river or the wabash river where it meets huntington res.

Just remember if you go fishing be very careful, lots of floating junk and most lakes are UNDER WATER!! :Rofl
