Several waves of thunderstorms moving across the county created major flooding problems. Evacuations were required near West Lafayette, where Evans Creek came out of its banks. Numerous roads across the county were flooded. The main damage in the county came in the form of crop damage, where around 3000 acres, mostly soybeans and corn, were under water. Roughly 75 out of the 900 total farms in the county were affected by the flood water.
