Indiana authorities say at least 5 people have died in flooding across the state

Indiana authorities report at least five deaths following devastating flooding, the worst the state has seen in over 30 years. Heavy rains, exceeding 11 inches in some areas over two days, caused rivers and creeks to surge. First responders utilized boats to rescue residents from rising waters along the White River in Indianapolis. Mayor Joe Hogsett and state officials have urged residents in high-risk areas to strictly follow all evacuation warnings as storms continue to batter the region.
