Apr 9, 2009
April was a very wet month across much of central Indiana. Frequent rains allowed lowland flooding to persist along the White River for more than two weeks. The most significant rain of the month occurred on the 5th, when two to four inches fell in much of central Indiana. Follow up rains on the 9th, 10th, 13th, and 14th of one-half to one inch prolonged the flooding. The primary effect of the flooding was to delay spring planting.
