Here is a statement from the NWS Louisville about the potential for more flooding...
...LIFE-THREATENING FLOODING SITUATION POSSIBLE THIS EVENING...

ANOTHER INTENSE ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE THROUGH SOUTHERN
INDIANA AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. RAINFALL
RATES COULD APPROACH 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR WITH THE STRONGEST
STORMS...REDUCING VISIBILITIES AND CAUSING RAPID FLASH FLOODING
AND RIVER RISES. WATER RESCUES AND EVACUATIONS HAVE OCCURRED TO
THE WEST WITH THIS LATEST BATCH OF RAINFALL. THE MOST LIKELY AREAS
TO SEE DANGEROUS FLOODING CONDITIONS WILL BE IN NORTH CENTRAL
KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA WHERE EXCESSIVE RAIN HAS RECENTLY
FALLEN. DUE TO THE ALREADY SATURATED GROUNDS...LESS THAN AN INCH OF
RAIN WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS IN SOME LOCATIONS.

Record flood levels expected in Princeton IN and Smithland KY.
Here is Smithland Lock and Dam's forecast (most recent)

At the record stage of 51.4 ft, large amounts of property damage can be expected; evacuation of many homes and businesses becomes necessary.
