Several rounds of thunderstorms moved through central Indiana Monday, leaving behind enough rain to create standing water and flooding concerns across the area.

The National Weather Service in Indianapolis said Tuesday morning that “areal flooding continues after widespread heavy rainfall yesterday,” with additional showers and thunderstorms expected Tuesday night, though the severe weather threat is considered low. Hamilton County was included in the central Indiana hazardous weather outlook.

Hamilton County Emergency Management urged drivers not to take chances with water-covered roads.

“We had so much rain yesterday,” the agency said in a Tuesday morning message. “There is going to be standing water around the area. Don’t be tempted to drive through flooded roads. You never know if the road is intact, how deep the water is, or if the water is moving. It’s not worth the risk. Turn around, don’t drown.”

The warning comes after a stormy Monday that brought multiple waves of rain and storms across the state. The National Weather Service reported some areas of Indiana received several inches of rain, with flood advisories and warnings issued in parts of central and southern Indiana. One NWS flood statement noted that multiple rounds of storms Monday produced around 4 inches of rain in some areas, leading to rising river levels.

While Hamilton County was not listed in the most serious flood warnings Tuesday morning, local officials say the danger can still be present on neighborhood streets, rural roads, low-lying areas and places with poor drainage.

The National Weather Service also reminds motorists that most flood deaths occur in vehicles and urges drivers to avoid flooded roads. Even shallow-looking water can hide washed-out pavement or a strong current.

Residents can check Hamilton County’s online road closure and lane restriction map for updated travel information. The county highway department is responsible for maintaining county roads, bridges and small structures outside city and town limits.

For now, the message from emergency officials is simple: slow down, watch for standing water, and never drive through a flooded roadway.
