Gotta get that Led Zepplin song outta my head now.
YIKES! Man the Boats!...I was there 12/22-12/23 (Evansville) 18>24" of snow. ..really sogging in Indiana.

Thanks for the map, Lainie.
They are due for more, too.
It was about as high as I have seen it in 20 yrs here in Indy at the end of last week, which is down in Knox county now. And more rain headed this way over the next few days. Lots of people in Indy have never had water that high before. And thousands are still without power in East Central Indiana from the huge ice storm. I have 2 at Ball State who know more people that didn't have power as of last night than those who did.
LOL!
Okay, I give up. Which Led Zeppelin song?
When the Levee Breaks.
"When the levee breaks"
Prayers offered for those effected.
Oh boy...southern Indiana does not need this or any more rain, ice and/or freezing temperatures....
I don't know what is going on with that. I asked my hubby about it and he said he thought it might be related to some transformers or something down there that the water level has affected. There was an article in the paper this morning though that says the power company is down there investigating. The article wasn't even on the front page - but on the front page of the city section. There doesn't seem to be a lot of concern about it - just them trying to figure out why they keep happening. I turned on the news and they are getting ready to talk about it after all these commercials. If there is anything new I will post.
"If it keeps on rainin' the levee's gonna' break.
IF the levee breaks, momma you got no home."
I went to Shoals yesterday, VERY high there. It is almost an island.
