Indiana storms, flooding leave two dead, officials say

Two people have died after severe storms and flash flooding struck central Indiana, according to officials.

Storm impact

The storms brought heavy rain to the region, causing creeks and rivers to overflow and leading to widespread flooding. Emergency crews performed water rescues as people became trapped in vehicles and homes.

Roads were closed across several counties as floodwaters covered highways and local streets. The National Weather Service had issued flash flood warnings for the area before the worst of the weather hit.
