Police scanners are lit up early this morning across Knox county Indiana. A very serious flash flooding issue has arisen. Flood waters are causing multiple problems for residents there. Roads are flooded, cars are stalling, some power outages, even police dispatch internet is down.

I just heard a report called in to the fire department where waters were rising rapidly inside a home, approaching the height of the electric box. Heard another report of a basement collapse due to flooding. Sounds like nobody injured there. Getting reports of some streets with over 3 feet of water.
