Floodwaters finally retreating near Seymour

The final river flooding in our area from last week’s storms is expected to end shortly.

This morning East Fork White River in Seymour is just about six inches above the 12 foot minor flood stage, according to river gauges. The river is expected to drop out of minor flooding any time now. The river crested at 19.78 feet, about nine inches above the major flood stage on Sunday afternoon.
