FLOODING: Crest moves down White River

The Associated Press

“It has not affected our ability to supply customers,” spokeswoman Angeline Protogere said.

A bigger concern lies farther south in Gibson County, where workers at Duke’s 3,000-megawatt plant — the third largest in the country — were ready to sandbag if necessary.

The Wabash and White rivers were expected to crest at their juncture south of Vincennes on Friday afternoon. The National Weather Service forecast a 50 percent or more chance of thunderstorms in southern and central Indiana on Friday, but lesser chances of more rain on Saturday and Sunday.

About 1,300 National Guard troops helped Wednesday to place sandbags at seven southern Indiana locations, including Hazleton and Vincennes, according to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.

Some 200 Guardsmen, Marines and Gibson County work-release inmates placed sandbags to reinforce Hazleton’s levee along the White River.

“I’m ready for it to quit raining,” said Terry Hedges, the Gibson County emergency management director. “I’m ready for the hurricanes to go south.”
