After a prolonged period of heavy rain in April (rainfall amounts were 150 to 200 percent above normal) widespread flooding was reported throughout much of Northern and Central Indiana. Flood waters had started to recede in the early part of May but many low lying areas and tributaries were high and standing water was reported in many flood prone areas.
