A couple of rounds of heavy rain in the Mississippi River Valley combined with melting snows from up north caused rises along the Mississippi River leading to major flooding. Backwater from the Mississippi River caused the Big Muddy River to rise above flood stage. Other rounds of heavy rain fell in the Wabash and Ohio Valleys, causing minor flooding along the Wabash, Ohio, and many of their tributaries. April was one of the wettest months ever for the state of Indiana.
