Dearborn County’s emergency management director, Bill Black Jr., said motorists from nearby Ohio and Kentucky, where gas stations were left without power, had created a run on gas in the Lawrenceburg area. But he said more fuel was on its way.

“Tankers are coming in. They’re getting replenished now,” Black said Wednesday morning.

Homeland Security Director Joseph Wainscott Jr. was touring Jennings County and other parts of southern Indiana Wednesday, spokeswoman Rachel Meyer said.

Northern Indiana’s weekend deluge of rain — up to a foot in some areas — left road crews still working Wednesday morning to pump water from swamped lanes of Interstate 80/94, four days after State Police closed the highway and Interstate 65 because of high water.

Andy Dietrick, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, said Wednesday that it was unclear when the highways might reopen. Once the water recedes and roads are dry, engineers will check the structural integrity of the roads, bridges and overpasses.

“We have a lot of guys out working on it but the water hasn’t gone down much,” he said.

Tolls were temporarily waived on part of the Indiana Toll Road near the Illinois state line to help clear traffic.
