Break in rain aids cleanup after Indiana Ohio floods
A break in a week of rain eased flooding in Indiana and Ohio while downstream areas along the Wabash River prepared for rising water. President Bush declared a disaster, enabling federal aid. Indiana reported about 1,300 damaged homes and $400,000 in damage, with four deaths attributed to the storms. Ohio reported 250 damaged homes across three counties. Minor flooding remained in Indianapolis suburbs, and Harrison Township near Dayton evacuated around ten families as the Great Miami River rose.
