Corydon Flood Wreaks Havoc After Recent Storm
A new damaging flood hit Corydon last Thursday night and Friday with several inches of snow followed by heavy rainfall. Big and Little Indian creeks overflowed, four feet of water blocked the Electric Light Plant, and twenty inches flooded the railroad depot. Homes in the low town area were evacuated and carpets removed to protect possessions. In nearby fields farms and lowlands filled with water, the Ohio River rose rapidly, and residents across Southern Indiana faced widespread damage and near-flooded livelihoods.
