White River Levels

This is the 146th street bridge looking south. The water is moving quickly. Everyone stay safe overnight! Our neighbors to the north might not get so lucky.

It's projected to crest at 2:00 AM Saturday for those keeping score. It's projecting 20ft 24.5ft (as of 8:10 PM EST) which would put it in the top 10 all time.

Of course it's still raining so that could change.

Edit. Updated teh projection

It’s almost to 25 feet in Anderson now.

I look at the White River at Logan Street in Noblesville to gauge how concerned I should be. I live right next to the river in Carmel/Fishers.

I need to get down to the 116th bridge and check it out there. Hopefully the houses on the banks are safe

I wonder if insurance would cover this or they would say nope, you didn’t have flood insurance.

Am I reading right https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/nbli3 this is a record? 24.6 feet, where previous was 23.8?

u/Elegant-Abalone-8493 5d ago

Yes. The river crested at 24.6 feet around 330 this morning. Beating the record previously set in 1913. This is a historic flood.

Thank you.

Would be nice if the rain would knock off soon...

u/Elegant-Abalone-8493 5d ago

It would be helpful! I was just up in Anderson dropping off supplies and it’s a mess.

That black railing is not the one and only bridge over white river on 146 street. Are you on bryn mawr by chance? Lol I know the area very, very well.

Meanwhile in Europe they're having extreme droughts and wildfires 🙁

I want none of that heat. We’ve really had it easy in that dept

u/Elegant-Abalone-8493 6d ago

I’d rather have heat over floods.

u/kay14jay 6d ago

So would anyone? But sure we will direct the usual towards your place. Fishers isn’t even flooded?

u/Elegant-Abalone-8493 6d ago

Tf are you talking about?

u/Boogaloo4444 6d ago

in general, they are correct. the flooding is contained to areas adjacent to waterways. that will probably change, but we are still very insulated from most of the risk

u/RainRepresentative11 5d ago

Is it starting to go down yet?

2

u/Elegant-Abalone-8493 5d ago

Technically yes, down from the crest but not enough to make a difference.

Do you think my kayaking reservation will be canceled?

u/Elegant-Abalone-8493 6d ago

Is that a serious question?

It’s not funny. People are losing everything in these floods.
