Severe Weather of June 12, 2021

Flooding

High moisture content in the atmosphere combined with slower moving storms led to flash flooding for some areas in the Indianapolis metro and east central Indiana. Roads had water on them or flowing over them, and some yards were flooded. Below is an example of how fast a creek rose in the Indianapolis area from the heavy rain.
