Among those 11 counties effected was Perry County here in Southwestern Indiana.

The disaster emergency declaration may be expanded to include other counties in the days ahead.

The National Weather Service says flooding is expected to last into at least the second week of March along the lower reaches of the Wabash and White Rivers. Rainfall amounts have are also being monitored by forecasters with the NWS as they report the state as a whole over this past weekend has seen as much as eight plus inches of rainfall, predominately in far southern Indiana. Rainfall over the state is 2 to 6 plus inches above normal.
