Flood Impacts 🅘

23 - Major flooding in progress along White Lick Creek from the Plainfield area to Brooklyn. Numerous local roads flooded. Flood waters beginning to affect shopping center complex in southern Mooresville north and south of Indiana 67. Water is close to bottom of bridge on Indiana 67.
21 - Greencastle Road and North White Lick Road on west side of creek flood. Water on the edge of Bottom Road at Rinker Road. Extensive flooding of Old SR 267 just north of I-70.
20.81 - During June 2010...a flood bigger than June 2008 occurred upstream in Hendricks County as a result of a partial dam failure and nearly five inches of rain. Crystal Bay at the southern end of Hummel Park flooded. Water flowed over CR 600S. After debris removal on a county road near Hummel Park, Old SR 267 north of I-70 and SR 267 on the north side of Mooresville near the Gravel Pits flooded. This flood wave attenuated as it reached SR 42 because the level was about 3 feet lower than June 2008.
