Indiana's White River broke a 113-year-old record Saturday in Noblesville as flooding forced 170 people to voluntarily leave their homes.
Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville issued state of emergency declarations Saturday, which will allow them to apply for recovery funds. Hamilton County remained under a state of emergency on Saturday.
A news release from Carmel city government said 40 people were evacuated from 41 homes. Of those people, 12 were taken to Northview Church for shelter. Also, residents of Bickford of Carmel Assisted Living and Montessori Memory Care off 116th Street near Hazel Dell Road were evacuated as a precaution to another Bickford facility in Greenwood or Northview Church.
The flooding also caused sinkholes that later led to the collapse of a portion of Hazel Dell Parkway at Blue Woods Creek. Both directions of Hazel Dell Parkway south of 106th Street and the surrounding pedestrian paths were closed.
Fishers has not publicly shared information about any evacuations.
None of the Hamilton County cities have reported no fatalities or serious injuries.
Along with the 170 residents in Noblesville, emergency workers helped move five dogs and one groundhog to safety.
