Flood Warnings!

The National Weather Ser­vice has extended Flood Warn­ings for north­east Indi­ana, north­west Ohio and south­ern Michi­gan into this morn­ing after emer­gency man­age­ment reported wide­spread flood­ing across much of the area on Sun­day night. Two to five inches of rain fell on our area Sat­ur­day, which led to wide­spread flood­ing. Major flood­ing has been fore­cast for Stryker, where the river was expected to crest 5 1/2 feet above the 11 foot flood stage early this morn­ing. Henry County is under a State of Emer­gency. Mod­er­ate flood­ing is expected at Defi­ance where the river is not expected to drop below flood stage until Wednes­day after­noon. Mod­er­ate flood­ing is expected near Napoleon and near Mont­pe­lier where the river is expected to crest one foot above flood stage on Wednes­day morning.
