MUNCIE, Ind. -- Muncie is the latest central Indiana city to have to clean up from severe weather.
Almost four inches of rain dumped Sunday on the city led to serious flash flooding, with almost knee-high water reported in some places.
The city of Muncie said south Muncie got the worst of it, asking people to avoid that area if at all possible with power lines down, trees having fallen and high waters.
There were seven or eight water rescues, according to Muncie Supervisor Randy Wiggins. About 150 calls were placed to Muncie 911 for various storm reports.
The flooding locations were:
- Underpass at Madison and Kirby
- Vine Street between 18th and 15th street
- 12th Street and Walnut Street
- 12th Street and Vine Street
There were no reports of injuries from the flooding.
