Flood — Gibson, IN

Jan 13, 2014

Minor flooding occurred along the White River about mid-month. An arctic intrusion quickly retreated by the 10th. The combination of rainfall of one-quarter to three-quarters of an inch late on the 10th and slowly melting snow through the 13th broke up the river ice that formed during the month. This created lowland flooding along portions of the White River. Flooding along the White River was less than in December.
