    BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY, Indiana (WRTV) -- All of Indiana โ€” including the southern part of the state โ€” is bracing for flooding in addition to the severe storms.

โ€œWe have a range of one to three inches a day and how much of that actually falls could impact another,โ€ Shannan Cooke with Bartholomew County Emergency Management.

WRTV's team of Meteorologists say a Moderate Risk (Level 4/5) covers much of Central Indiana for the threat of severe storms Wednesday evening into Thursday night.

POTENTIAL THREATS:

All forms of severe weather possible this evening into tonight Gusty winds outside of the storms Very heavy rainfall possible through Saturday

โ€œDonโ€™t drive through the water โ€“ you donโ€™t know how deep it is, and you donโ€™t know if there is any damage underneath โ€“ definitely donโ€™t drive around barricades,โ€ Cooke said. Bartholomew County is preparing for another potential round of severe weather after the county, just finished cleaning up from last weekend.

โ€œWe ended up hiding in our hallway with pillows and blankets,โ€ Kristina Niccum told WRTV.

Now, Niccum is urging others to be prepared for whatever Mother Nature may bring.

โ€œStay safe. Have a plan of action. Know where your shelters are and just keep your heads up,โ€ Niccum concluded.
