We're in east-central Indiana. Lots of rain and day after day of storms, one death in the county due to flooding, but nothing even close to what they're dealing with southwest of here after 10.94 inches of rain last weekend. My prayers go out to them. (I sandbagged for a week in Quincy, Illinois, during the 500-year flood of the Mississippi in 1992 -- this type of thing is absolutely devastating.)
Locally, Knightstown was hit with 100 mph straight-line winds in the first round of storms; tiny little Carthage saw a tornado dance through two days later. The June 4 and May 31 entries here -- http://bicycleeyes.wordpress.com/ -- give one a feel for the damage.
