BROOKVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Authorities in southeastern Indiana’s Franklin County have evacuated some homes in the town of Laurel after 4 inches of rainfall inundated low-lying areas.

Sheriff’s dispatcher Amy Callahan says the number of evacuations Tuesday wasn’t immediately clear.

The National Weather Service says up to 4 feet of water had accumulated on some roadways in Franklin County.

Indiana State Police say the high water closed Interstate 74 westbound at the Franklin-Ripley county line near Batesville and eastbound lanes of I-74 at nearby Greensburg.

Spokesman John Erickson of the Indiana Department of Homeland Security says isolated evacuations are occurring in several counties.

Laurel is about 50 miles southeast of Indianapolis.
