Indiana authorities say at least 5 people have died as severe weather crosses the state

Indiana authorities reported that at least five people died across the state due to severe storms and flooding this week. Flooding prompted Mayor Joe Hogsett to call it the most severe event in over 30 years, leading to hundreds of evacuations and multiple rescue operations. Heavy rains caused rivers like the White River to reach record levels, prompting more than a dozen counties to declare local disasters.
