I drove south of Washington on Highway 257 a week and a half ago to see some major flooding in the area. The whole highway was underwater just past the East Fork of the White River - which marks the border between Daviess County and Pike County. The river takes a short cut across a low-lying valley and flows over the highway. The corn field that was planted here is likely ruined for this year's crop. It's amazing to see the amount of water that has inundated the area here!
