Flood Impacts 🅘

29.4 - A failure of Levee Unit #8 about one mile downstream of Edwardsport may flood Plainville as the water can go under the railroad bridge. An area from CR 900 N east to the Indiana Southern RR and south to U.S. Highway 50 may flood in Daviess County. More than 20,000 acres are possibly flooded by various depths of water. U.S. Highway 50 downstream acts like a dam as water pours over it in two places.
29 - Near record flood elevation is in progress. Breaking of levees would cause a major flood. Highway and railroad bridges are in danger of washing away. Water reaches the top of Levee Unit #8, locally known as the Bennington and the McGinnis levees. These levees protect thousands of acres of farmland and the town Plainville. Bicknell Water Treatment Plant needs sandbagging.
27 - Some evacuations are necessary in low areas of Edwardsport and Elnora. Water is at the top of levee protecting low areas of Elnora.
