Severe storms led to flash flooding in both Kentucky and Indiana on Tuesday, closing down a college campus in Louisville, closing highways and severing power to thousands.
The flooding closed down the University of Louisville, where more than 10 buildings had no power and about 12 more had some flooding, according to university spokesperson Mark Hebert. In addition, several university employees had been evacuated.
The flood waters encroached upon and breached guardrails along I-65, bringing traffic to a grinding halt in Clark County, Indiana.
The National Weather Service has said that the Rubbertown area in western Louisville got dumped on by more than 6 inches of rain in just three hours.
City officials say that there have been no reports of any significant injuries.
