A front stalled out just southeast of central Indiana on December 20-21. Waves of low pressure rode along the front, generating rain across the area. With tropical moisture moving into the system, heavy rain occurred across parts of central Indiana. Some areas received over 5 inches of rain in less than 48 hours. This not only resulted in flash flooding, but also resulted in river flooding not long after. Some rivers across central Indiana saw major flooding, with rivers higher than they had been in 5 years or more. A couple of locations saw the highest flood crests in over 20 years.
