20 Homes Affected By Indianapolis Flooding

Myrna Delgadillo was among a handful of Westside residents who sought refuge Tuesday in a fire station. A Biltmore Avenue resident since 1967, the sound of the oncoming water was a familiar signal to get out of the house. "It was like the roar of the ocean," she said. "When my husband came out, the water was up to his shoulders inside of my home." About 15 Westside residents were pulled from their flooded homes Tuesday afternoon as storms dumped heavy rain throughout Central Indiana.
As rushing water began to flow into homes in the area of West Washington Street and South Biltmore Avenue on the Westside, water rescue crews traveled by boat and by foot to pull stranded residents to safety.
