<\/p>\nExtreme flooding forces evacuations onto rooftops in Lanesville, Indiana<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWERE ABLE TO TIE HIM TO THE THEFT. BUT FIRST, COME OVER HERE AND LOOK AT THIS VIDEO. WE ARE CONTINUING TO FOLLOW LATE BREAKING NEWS. SEVERE FLOODING IN LANESVILLE, INDIANA. AMY LIND SENT US THIS VIDEO FROM SAINT PETER\u2019S CHURCH ROAD ON HIGHWAY 62. FLOYD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SAYS EVACUATIONS ARE UNDERWAY FOR FLASH FLOODING IN THAT AREA. MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS ARE ALSO RESPONDING. PEOPLE ARE BEING RESCUED FROM THE ROOFS OF BUILDINGS IN DOWNTOWN LANESVILLE. WE HAVE A CREW THERE ON THE WAY AND WE\u2019LL BRING YOU MORE AS WE GET IT. AND THERE\u2019S A SEVERE WEATHER ALERT FOR FLOODING IN MANY COMMUNITIES. METEOROLOGIST MO ROSE IS IN THE STUDIO TRACKING THE RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING. FOR US, IT\u2019S NOT JUST LANESVILLE. A LOT OF AREAS HAVE RECEIVED A LOT OF WATER. OH YEAH, IN GREENE COUNTY, OVER 5 TO 6IN OF RAIN IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. WE\u2019RE SEEING THAT IN GRAYSON COUNTY AND IN THAT AREA CLOSE TO LANESVILLE, 7.8IN. AND THAT\u2019S ONLY IN THE LAST THREE HOURS. SO A LOT OF RAIN IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THAT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I DON\u2019T WANT YOU DRIVING THROUGH ANY ROADS IF YOU CANNOT SEE THE LINES ON THE ROADS, TURN AROUND. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SWEPT AWAY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU\u2019RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA. THAT COULD BE VERY, VERY DANGEROUS. YOU DON\u2019T KNOW HOW DEEP THAT WATER IS. AND ALL OF THOSE BLINKING GREEN BOXES BEHIND ME, THOSE ARE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS, AND THERE ARE QUITE A FEW. THESE SHOULD START TO EXPIRE, THOUGH, OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THE RAIN STARTS TO RECEDE AND WE ARE GOING TO START SEEING SOME DRYING. NOTICE THE BULK OF IT. THOSE COLORS THEY\u2019RE STARTING TO PUSH OFF TO THE EAST, BUT WE STILL HAVE SOME LIGHT SHOWERS THAT ARE MOVING THROUGH THE METRO. WE\u2019RE ALSO SEEING THEM IN PARTS OF BRECKINRIDGE AND MEADE COUNTY OVER HARDIN COUNTY AS WELL. AND AGAIN, JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH RAIN HAS FALLEN. IT\u2019S JUST AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT. THE GROUND IS NOT USED TO THAT TYPE OF WATER. WE\u2019RE ALSO SEEING MAYBE THE COULD BE TRIMARK OR THE ROADS DEPARTMENT UNCLOGGING, WHATEVER DRAIN WAS ON 65 SOUTH. THIS IS THAT RAMP THAT TAKES YOU OFF OF 65 ONTO JEFFERSON. WE HAD CARS JUST ZOOMING THROUGH THE PUDDLES CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. YOU COULD EASILY HYDROPLANE. SO IF YOU DO ENCOUNTER ANY PUDDLES, JUST BE SUPER CAREFUL THIS AFTERNOON. IT\u2019S 73 RIGHT NOW. STILL DEALING WITH RAIN. DO YOU THINK WE COULD GET INTO THE MID 80S BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO GET A BREAK FROM THIS RAIN. WE GET ANY SUN THAT\u2019S GOING TO WARM US UP AND THEN JUST ADD FUEL TO ANOTHER CHANCE FOR STORMS LATER ON. AND WE DO HAVE THOSE STORMS FOR TONIGHT, WEDNESDAY MORNING STORMS. THEN WE\u2019RE TRENDING DRIER IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THEN THE HEAT MOVES IN. 91 IS GOING TO FEEL LIKE TRIPLE DIGITS BY THE AFTERNOON AS WE BEGIN TO DRY OUT. AND THEN THURSDAY WE\u2019RE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN. WE COULD HAVE AN ISOLATED STORM, BUT TEMPERATURES. NOW THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE THE BIG STORY. WE WILL BE SWEATING. I\u2019LL LET Y\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
