Midwest Flood Crisis Escalates | Madison News

Midwest floods rage on for a sixth straight day, drenching eastern Iowa, central Illinois, and Indiana with historic rainfall—some areas seeing a once-in-a-thousand-years deluge. Rivers overflow, roads vanish, and hundreds flee as water swallows homes and belongings. Indiana’s governor declares a statewide emergency, deploying the National Guard amid desperate rescues—including a search for a missing teen—and two recent deaths from a deadly derecho. Flash floods also strike eastern Kentucky and Ohio, where 375 evacuate. More storms loom Friday night into Saturday, threatening up to 8 inches in spots, with flood danger easing only slightly by Saturday—but not disappearing entirely.
