FRANKLIN, Ind. — Floodwater forced many people from their homes, breached dams and closed major highways, yet officials said the worst could still come as rivers in south-central Indiana kept rising.
Gov. Mitch Daniels declared emergencies in 10 counties yesterday, after storms dumped up to 10 inches of rain on already soggy ground. Interstate 70 was closed in Clay County in west-central Indiana, and Interstate 65 and another major route, U.S. 31, both were closed near Franklin, just south of Indianapolis.
Authorities were evacuating Columbus Regional Hospital yesterday because of rising water, Indiana State Police said.
Clark Memorial Hospital in Jeffersonville was told to expect seven of the evacuated patients, said Mary Jennings, a Clark hospital spokeswoman. As of 10:30 p.m., none had arrived.
The Republic newspaper in Columbus was reporting on its Web site that other patients were being sent to King’s Daughters’ Hospital in Madison and Schneck Medical Center in Seymour.
In all, about 100 patients were being transported by school buses and ambulances, the newspaper reported.
State Homeland Security Director Joe Wainscott said that officials had no idea of the scope of evacuations but that at least several hundred homes and businesses had been affected.
Ninety percent of the small town of Paragon, southwest of Indianapolis, was under water, Wainscott said. Flooding was also extensive in Terre Haute and Spencer, he said.
No injuries or deaths were reported.
Daniels said that although flash flooding was receding in places, others would be hit even harder when rivers started cresting. Four to 10 inches of rain fell south of Indianapolis overnight and yesterday, the National Weather Service said.
A scuba team performed swift-water rescues and helped evacuate homes in Johnson County, south of Indianapolis, sheriff’s dispatcher Zachary Elliott said. Dams in the county failed, threatening the town of Nineveh about 30 miles south of Indianapolis, County Commissioner Tom Kite said.

I f you’re looking to dabble in the world of sushi, this Columbus restaurant will put you on a roll.
Sushiko Japanese Restaurant serves a variety of sushi styles, relying on fresh seafood and vegetables. You’ll sample everything from inside-out rolls to nigiri, in which sliced fish is pressed on top of a clump of rice.
While extensive, the sushi menu isn’t the only draw here.
Guests can eat in either the sushi area or the hibachi section, where diners watch chefs prepare meat, vegetables and rice.
Choose sushi and you’ll also get a show, as those chefs, too, prepare custom-made rolls before your eyes. You can sit right at the small, intimate sushi bar or take a spot at one of the many adjacent tables.
A good bit of Sushiko’s appeal comes from the unique dining experience it boasts — you’ll watch your entree as it’s made. Especially when it comes to sushi, there’s plenty of flexibility when it comes to building an order.
SUSHIKO JAPANESE RESTAURANT
Hours: Lunch is served Monday-Friday, 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Dinner is 4:30-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 4:30-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Closed Sunday.
Atmosphere: The welcoming interior is anchored by small, intimate tables and chefs who prepare food in front of the restaurant’s guests. As far as seating goes, you’ll choose between the sushi and hibachi areas.
Beverages: Tea and sodas are available, as well as beer and wine. There’s also plenty of house drinks, mixed cocktails that for the most part are either rum- or vodka-based. House drinks are served in white statuettes shaped as figures such as a ninja.
Starters: Choose from options like edamame (soybeans), shrimp tempura, soft-shell crab and gyoza (six-piece dumplings). The sushi menu includes additional appetizers like seared tuna and squid and seaweed salads.
Main dishes: Sit in the sushi section and sample virtually every type of roll imaginable. You have traditional offerings like the California roll (crab, cucumber and avocado inside a rice roll), but there’s also house specialties like two varieties of the Sushiko roll, or the Trust Me roll (spicy tuna and cucumber, topped with yellowtail and special sauce). At the hibachi station, you’ll watch a chef prepare meats like chicken and steak, served with vegetables as well as salad, soup and fried or steamed rice.
