The White River has finally receded to below flood stage. For one research team at IU, the work to understand how 50-year floods affect Indiana’s terrain is just beginning.

The National Weather Service said the East Fork White River at Shoals isn’t expected to crest until early Friday Morning and won’t fall below flood stage levels until around April 17.

Mayor Matt Nicholson said nobody in Seymour was displaced due to the flood, though the waters came close to a new housing development.

The East Fork White River is expected to crest at 31.7 feet Thursday. On Monday, it was at 24.8 feet.
