The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

At least seven people died after storms that began Aug. 11 brought record-setting flooding to Indiana, with deaths reported across multiple counties. Some areas received more than 11 inches of rain over three days, and northern Indiana had destructive winds of 90 to 100 mph. In Indianapolis, White River floodwaters receded Sunday after flooding forced evacuations in Ravenswood, Rocky Ripple and other areas. Officials shifted to recovery as hundreds were evacuated, more than a dozen counties declared local disasters, and President Donald Trump approved an emergency declaration.
