The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.
The heaviest and most widespread rains of the month occurred at the beginning of April. Storms from the 2nd through the 4th dumped 2 to 6 inches of rain on central and southern Indiana. Central Indiana experienced widespread areal flooding from the 3rd through the 4th. Two deaths were attributed to the river flooding in central Indiana. A mother and son perished late on the 4th after driving into a flooded road along the White River near Gosport. The other death occurred when a Greene County man slipped and fell into Bogard Creek, south of Bloomfield, on the 8th.

IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY MOVE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT/... ISSUED AT 229 PM EDT WED APR 2 2014 NEXT WAVE OF RAIN/EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY BEGINNING TO MOVE INTO THE WEST CENTRAL/SOUTHWEST ZONES. SHORT TERM MODEL DATA SUGGEST THIS WAVE WILL LIFT OFF TO THE NORTHEAST BY THE LATE EVENING HOURS...SO EXPECTING WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA DURING THE COURSE OF THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. STEEPER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF THE LOCAL AREA...SO THE BULK OF THE STRONGER CONVECTION THROUGH THIS EVENING WILL PROBABLY BE OVER THE SOUTHERN ZONES. SOME HAIL POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGER CELLS. MAY BE A RELATIVE LULL IN THE PRECIPITATION LATER TONIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THIS AFTERNOON/S WAVE...BUT MODEL DATA SUGGEST A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET AROUND 50 KTS WILL DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT...OVERRUNNING THE SURFACE FRONT AND NOSING INTO SOUTHWEST INDIANA. THE PRESENCE OF STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES COMBINED WITH THE LIFT ALONG THE JET SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN WITH THE STRONGER CELLS THAT MAY DEVELOP...ROUGHLY AROUND AND AFTER 031000Z. GIVEN THE EXPECTED WARM ADVECTION DEVELOPING TONIGHT...DON/T THINK TEMPERATURES WILL FALL TOO MUCH. WILL ALLOW FOR A SLIGHT FALL OF TEMPERATURES TONIGHT. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

GIVEN THE STRONG LOW LEVEL JET...HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATERS...AND STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...HEAVY RAIN AND SOME HAIL POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER CELLS DURING THE MORNING HOURS. THERE MAY BE ANOTHER RELATIVE LULL IN THE PRECIPITATION LATER THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE MORNING WAVE LIFTS OUT...AND THE NEXT WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT NOT ARRIVING UNTIL LATER IN THE NIGHT THURSDAY. LAPSE RATES/DEEP LAYER SHEAR LOOK ADEQUATE FOR A SEVERE THREAT THURSDAY NIGHT...ALTHOUGH THE LOW AND MID LEVEL JETS ARE NOT ALIGNED VERY WELL...WHICH MAY CUT DOWN ON THE MAGNITUDE OF THE SHEAR. MODEL DATA INDICATE THE COLD FRONT WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA BY MIDDAY FRIDAY...SO WILL CUT OFF THE POPS AFTER THAT TIME. MAY GET QUITE WINDY ON FRIDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...WITH THE POTENTIAL TO MIX DOWN SOME HIGHER WINDS WITH THE MID LEVEL JET OVERHEAD. WILL LET THE FLOOD WATCH CONTINUE AS IS. DIFFICULT TEMPERATURE FORECAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A LARGE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE FRONTAL ZONE. OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE LIFTS THE FRONT THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY...BUT SOME OF THE FINER SCALE MODELS SUGGEST THIS MAY NOT HAPPEN UNTIL LATER THURSDAY NIGHT. GIVEN THE EXPECTED AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION...SEEMS PLAUSIBLE THE WARM SECTOR MAY BE HELD AT BAY BY SOME KIND OF CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY. DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTIES REVOLVING AROUND THE POSITION OF THE FRONT...WILL NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM THE GFS TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE AT THIS TIME...BUT WILL UNDERCUT THE NUMBERS A BIT. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... ISSUED AT 202 PM EDT WED APR 2 2014 GFS SUGGESTS A RIDGE REMAINING OVER THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...KEEPING DRY WEATHER IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION.

NIELDThe Evansville,IN radar (KVWX), 84 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 02:12 UTC.
12 flood, 1 hail. Local standard time, as filed.
High water was reported over State Route 67, south of Sandborn, due to heavy thunderstorm rainfall.
INDOT reported water over the road on State Route 450 between Highway 50 in Shoals and State Route 158 in Bedford due to heavy thunderstorm rainfall.
A road was flooded in the 7000 block of County Road 350 North due to heavy thunderstorm rainfall.

Flooding was occurring along portions of Highway 136 due to heavy thunderstorm rainfall. Also, portions of Cartersburg Road were flooded between Plainfield and Danville.
Water was covering Towne Road, south of 116th Street, on the west side of Carmel due to thunderstorm heavy rainfall. A car was reported in a ditch. No word on any injuries. Flooding also closed 116th Street eastbound, east of Ditch Street, and also 136th Street between Rangeline Road and Highway 31. Street crews are clearing drains.
Plum Creek Golf Course was flooded due to heavy thunderstorm rainfall.
Water was reported to be 3 inches deep on Mann Road near the Morgan-Marion county line due to thunderstorm heavy rainfall.
WTHI-TV reported that Indiana Conservation Officers said the morning of Saturday the 5th; they were searching for two missing people after their vehicle became submerged in flood waters. Their bodies were found later Saturday afternoon.
Officers were looking for a 24-year-old female and a 5-year-old boy, of Paragon. Both went missing early Saturday morning.
According to DNR officials, a female driver, the deceased female, and the deceased boy were traveling in a car on Moon Road when they became lost Saturday. The three were trying to make their way back to Paragon.
The driver of the car attempted to drive through high water. Officials say the road did not have a high water sign because it is so infrequently traveled.
After the driver entered the water, she tried to reverse, but the car was taken into the water. The two deceased could not swim, so the driver told them to get on top of the car while she swam to get help at a nearby home.
When the driver returned from getting help, the car, along with the two, were gone.
Officers searched the area for hours Saturday. Around 4:20 p.m., the boy's body was found in the flood waters. The female's was found shortly after, around 4:40 p.m. The bodies were found about 100 yards from the vehicle, which had drifted about 100 yards from its original location.
The White River in the area of Bogard Creek was extensively flooded, but not at a record stage. Recent rainfall of one half to three quarters of a inch on wet to very wet ground caused Bogard Creek to overflow. The time of the flooding was estimated based on the stage at a nearby river.
The Greene County Daily World reported that a rural Bloomfield man drowned after he apparently slipped and fell into a flood-swollen creek in Taylor Township on the morning of April the 8th. The victim, 62, lived on the property where Bogard Creek flows on U.S. 231, south of Bloomfield. The Greene County Coroner said no foul play is indicated and it looks like the victim may have been walking along the creek bank and simply fell into the water. The exact time of the incident has not been determined, but his body was found at about 11:30 AM by two close friends who had come to check on the victim. The victim's body was in two to three feet deep water and had been retrieved from the water by the friends when authorities arrived at the site, which is located in Taylor Township between County Road 400 and County Road 600.
As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
