THE WHITE RIVER REACHES FLOOD STAGE IN NOBLESVILLE, HAMILTON COUNTY, INDIANA

Rainfall and melting snow caused the White River in Noblesville,1149303_water_reflections.jpg Hamilton County, Indiana, to reach flood stage this week. Officials believe the river should crest and fall below flood stage in Noblesville by Saturday.

Although most roads in Hamilton County were able to remain clear of the flood waters, the White River continued to shows signs of rising. The Hamilton County Emergency Management Agency reported that the White River should crest at just shy of 17 ft., which would be just about 3 ft. above designated flood levels.
