Mandatory Evacuations Underway for Whitewater River Residents Amid Historic Flooding
Residents along the Whitewater River in southeastern Indiana and western Hamilton County, Ohio, are being evacuated due to historic flooding. Emergency responders are conducting door-to-door evacuations, urging residents to leave immediately. The Whitewater River crested at 25.29 feet in Brookville, Indiana, on Thursday evening, marking the third-highest crest in recorded history. Floodwaters have trapped several residents, prompting rescue operations by fire and emergency management agencies. Emergency shelters have been established in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and other nearby areas to accommodate displaced residents. The flooding has also impacted Connersville and Laurel, Indiana, where evacuations began earlier this week.
