Impact & Risks

Minor flooding is affecting the Wabash River area, particularly near Terre Haute and West Terre Haute, Indiana. At 21.0 feet, the river extends to Interstate 70 Mile Marker Number 4, and seep water is causing local lakes to reach capacity. Residents in low-lying areas and near the riverbanks should remain vigilant, as floodwaters can pose risks to property and transportation. Flooding is expected to subside as the river recedes, but caution is advised, especially during nighttime when flood hazards are harder to detect.
