Flood
****
These pictures taken from a pedestrian bridge across the Wabash River in Lafayette.
Floods in the area have killed three and forced the evacuation of several hundred. Up to ten inches of rain in a matter of hours created havoc in Benton, White, and Carroll counties.
Two people I work with have lost property, one lost nearly everything. This is the 2nd "100 year flood" in the last few years. My guess is that if you live in a flood plain, you're going to get it sooner or later.

A developer in Clinton county is selling lots along Campbell Creek. Hint to prospective buyers: if your lot is behind a levee, it probably isn't a good idea to build there.
