EMA Director: Flooding Not a Concern
The amount of rain we’ve seen over the last few days is not a cause for concern, according to Marshall County Emergency Management Agency Director Clyde Avery.
He said the areas that normally see high water or minor flooding issues did experience those issues over the weekend.
“We did have some roads that were closed due to high water again,” said Avery. “We were fortunate that we didn’t get the heavy rain that occurred Friday night and again Sunday afternoon so that spared us from additional flooding concerns.”
Watch for High Water on Roadways
Rain from the weekend and more showers in the forecast could lead to flooding issues this week.
Marshall County is under a flash flood watch this morning. Drivers are encouraged to watch for standing water on the roads. If you see a flooded road, do not try to drive through it. The water depth could be much greater than what it appears. Indiana Department of Homeland Security officials ask that you turn around and find an alternate route to your destination.
