Flooding in Central Indiana

I don't even know where to start!! First of all I think I will also post this on my blog, and maybe on the prayer list as well.

My daughter lives south of Indianapolis and a couple of days ago 4 tornadoes did millions of $$$$$$$$ of damage about a mile from her home. Then last night and today, they got just short of 11 inches of rain.. on top of all the rain and hail they have gotten this week.

During all this, the dam at Princes Lakes broke and added to all the flooding. The town she lives in is virtually isolated at this time. Her home is safe for the moment, they are on alert for evacuation, but she does not seem to think that will happen unless it starts raining again. She keeps calling me to let me know she is ok.

If you are watching CNN today, tonight or tomorrow and they mention Johnson County, Indiana and Franklin, Ind, Martinsville or Greenwood.. that is all her stomping grounds and she knows people in all those towns. Paragon, Indiana is where her husband's family races sprint cars. Please say extra prayer for all those effected by these storms and floods. According to CNN awhile ago, you cannot get from Terre Haute to Indanapolis because Rt. 70 is closed. You also cannot get from Indianapolis to Louisville because Rt. 65 is closed. South central Indiana has been hit very hard. the rain came down fast and furious and people had no time to react. The newsmen say that it looks like Katrina.. scary for the middle of the US..

I would imagine you can get more information at www.wthr.com or www.cnn.com

I am praying for all those effected by severe weather.
