Flood Warning

...The Flood Warning continues for the following river and locations in Indiana...

White River near Nora, at Ravenswood, and at Noblesville.

.As we see the crest on the White River nearing Noblesville, Nora, and Ravenswood, bringing major flooding, here are the very latest thoughts.

Noblesville is now predicted to EXCEED THE PREVIOUS RECORD FLOOD of 23.80 feet, set on March 25, 1913, by reaching 24.5 feet between 12 AM and 2 AM tonight. This height typically causes numerous evacuations to roads, businesses, and homes.

Nora is expected to reach 20.50 feet early Saturday morning, which would be the second highest historic crest on record, exceeding the flood of January 1, 1991. A height of 20 feet brings water near residential areas in Shore Acres, Williams Creek Cutoff east of Marott Park, and on the river side of Union Chapel Road.

Ravenswood is predicted to reach 12.6 feet, which would tie for fourth place in the list of highest historic crests. This height was reached on June 30, 1957. A height of 12.5 feet historically has involved evacuations of residents in Ravenswood west of Crittenden Avenue.
