The episode as NWS IWX wrote it up.
Several rounds of rainfall brought flooding to many counties during a couple day period. On average, three to five inches of rain fell, often in a few hours. This rainfall occurred over already saturated ground from recent rains over the past couple of weeks. This resulted in an extended period of runoff and flooding issues.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 15, 12:29 PM EST, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
129 PM EDT MON JUN 15 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 412 AM EDT MON JUN 15 2015
A COLD FRONT OVER WISCONSIN IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE AREA TONIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXPAND IN
COVERAGE ACROSS THE AREA IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT. THE STORMS WILL
LIKELY CONTAIN HEAVY RAINFALL...POSSIBLY CAUSING FLASH FLOODING. ISOLATED
DAMAGING WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. THE FRONT WILL STALL OVER
CENTRAL INDIANA TUESDAY... CONFINING THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR AREA AND THEN LIFT BACK NORTH ON
WEDNESDAY BRINGING MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN BACK TO THE AREA. HIGHS
TODAY WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S WITH LOWS TONIGHT IN THE
MID TO UPPER 60S.
&&
.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1139 AM EDT MON JUN 15 2015
CONDITIONS REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY RAINFALL TODAY/TNGT WITH
LATEST RAP ANALYSIS INDICATING PWAT APCHG 2" AND UPWIND
PROPAGATION VECTOR ONLY 5-10KT ACROSS OUR AREA. A SLOW MOVG CDFNT
WILL DROP SLOWLY SOUTHEAST ACROSS OUR AREA TNGT. WIDESPREAD TSTMS
ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS AFTN AND
CONT AT LEAST INTO THIS EVE AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA.
PORTIONS OF THE CWA ALREADY HAVE SATURATED GROUND CONDITIONS AND
HIGH RIVER/STREAM FLOWS... BUT EVEN AREAS WHICH HAVEN'T RECEIVED
THAT MUCH RAIN RECENTLY COULD BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLASH FLOODING
THIS AFTN/EVE DUE TO EXPECTED VERY HEAVY RAINFALL RATES FOR UP TO
A FEW HOURS. THUS HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA FOR THIS AFTN/EVE.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 412 AM EDT MON JUN 15 2015
MIDLEVEL VORT MAX CURRENTLY OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL BE DRAWN
ENE TODAY BY DEEP TROUGH EXTENDING FROM HUDSON BAY LOW. GIVEN
TROPICAL AIRMASS STILL IN PLACE COURTESY OF INTRACTABLE SOUTHEAST
CONUS RIDGE...THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR YET ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. CONVECTION SHOULD BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD
TODAY DUE TO LEVEL OF SYNOPTIC SUPPORT AND RICH THETA-E ENVIRONMENT.
HAVE THEREFORE KEPT HIGH END LIKELY POPS. ONLY QUESTION IS EXACT
TIMING/EVOLUTION AND ASSOCIATED SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES.
SUBTLE MIDLEVEL PERTURBATIONS RIPPLING THROUGH THE AREA IN A VERY
MOIST (SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN LOWER 70S) AND UNCAPPED ENVIRONMENT WILL
LIKELY ALLOW CONVECTION TO BLOSSOM BY LATE MORNING...EVEN MORE SO
THAN CURRENTLY BEING SEEN. EXPECT SCT CONVECTION TO THEN CHURN
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH POTENTIAL FOR A SECONDARY UPTICK IN
COVERAGE DURING THE EVENING WITH MAIN FRONTAL PASSAGE. IF EARLY
INITIATION IS TRUE (AS EXPECTED)...THIS WILL PUT A DAMPER ON SEVERE
WEATHER CHANCES. MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE A PATHETIC 5 G/KG WITH A
COMPLETELY MOIST ADIABATIC PROFILE ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER. ANY
APPRECIABLE LEVELS OF INSTABILITY WILL DEPEND ON SUSTAINED SURFACE
DIABATIC HEATING...A TALL ORDER GIVEN EXPECTED EARLY ONSET OF
CONVECTION AND ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER. NEVERTHELESS...WOULDNT TOTALLY
LET GUARD DOWN BECAUSE THE WIND/SHEAR PROFILES ARE BETTER THAN
YESTERDAY THANKS TO APPROACHING TROUGH. 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES WILL BE
AROUND 30-35 KTS WITH 0-3KM VALUES 20-30 KTS BY THE EVENING. THIS
COULD SUPPORT SOME ORGANIZED MULTICELL CLUSTERS/LINES IF INSTABILITY
ENDS UP HIGHER THAN EXPECTED. DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS WOULD BE
THE PRIMARY CONCERN.
SET UP WITH RESPECT TO HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL REMAINS THE SAME AS IT
HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. PW VALUES REMAIN AROUND 2
INCHES...SOLIDLY IN THE 99TH PERCENTILE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. DEEP
WARM CLOUD LAYER WILL ALSO FAVOR EFFICIENT COLLISION/COALESCENSE
PROCESSES AND MBE VELOCITIES REMAIN LOW...FAVORING POTENTIAL FOR
TRAINING/BACKBUILDING OF STORMS. LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE
IF/WHERE SUSTAINED CONVECTION SETS UP...ESPECIALLY IN OUR SOUTHERN
COUNTIES THAT HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED EXCESSIVE RAINFALL. BIGGEST
THREAT FOR FLOODING WILL PROBABLY BE IN THE EVENING WHEN MAIN FRONT
APPROACHES.
CONVECTION CHANCES SHOULD GRADUALLY WIND DOWN FROM NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST DURING THE LATE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AS COLD FRONT SLOWLY
PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA...THOUGH PROBABLY WONT FULLY CLEAR OUR
SOUTHEASTERN ZONES BEFORE 12Z.

The Northern Indiana radar (KIWX), 39 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 18:57 UTC.
9 flood, 2 flash flood, 1 heavy rain. Local standard time, as filed.
Numerous reports of high water and general flooding throughout Plymouth, with several inches of standing water. Other reports of high water were received throughout the county, especially in the Tippecanoe area.
Water over the road on US-30 westbound between SR 105 and Blue River Bridge.
Water flowing across State Road 9 at County Road 300S.
Several inches of rain fell across the county, causing high water in many spots as river, creek and streams attempted to handle all the rainfall. Road closures were reported across portions of the county.
Several rounds of rainfall caused an extended period of flooding on many of the roads across the county. Even after the rain ended, road closures and evacuations persisted as water levels either remained high or continued to rise after the causative events. Numerous creeks and ditches ran over their banks adding to the flooding issues. Portions of State Routes 124, 5, 124, 3, 218, 9 all had either high water or water rapidly flowing over the roadways, causing partial or full closures. Several county roads were also impacted. Portions of Roanoke Park were also underwater.
Rain of 2.68 inches fell in 2.5 hours. Water was over 300S at intersection with US-31. Mobile home park flooded in the area.
Fire department rescued residents from flooding in the mobile home park on 300S.
Water was flowing over the road.
Water flowing rapidly over Flora Dr.
County Road 275N closed due to high water.
Several inches of rainfall from the evening of the 15th into the overnight hours of the 16th caused Loon Creek to rapidly increase in level, flooding western portions of Andrews. Water levels rose so rapidly that sand bag operations were not possible. As responders were attempting to sandbag against the rising water, a loud noise was heard with investigation revealing that a railroad bridge over the creek was destroyed with the rail tracks eventually falling into the flood waters. No damage estimates were available, but given the damage to the railroad bridge, figures exceeding $500,000 are likely.
Water over the road up to waist deep on 200W outside of Wabash and on Columbus St. Cars under water.
