Heavy rain on February 28th sent the mainstem rivers above flood stage early in March. Minor flooding occurred on the Ohio, Wabash, and White Rivers. The generally 1 to 2 inches of rain that fell on the 11th caused the river falls to come to an end, but it was not enough for renewed flooding even with the high levels that were ongoing across the southern Wabash and White rivers, where flooding had just ended.
