[AT] Scary wind damage.

[Larry Goss]

The "other rivers" (White and Patoka) that run through Indiana cause more flooding problems than the Wabash does.  Unfortunately, they feed into the Wabash so we see low-land concerns on the Wabash itself rather regularly.  The Ohio river is "controlled" but it isn't uncommon for the river to be so high that the control dams are under water.  The miles and miles of bottom lands that are planted  in corn every year take their own kind of planting routine to get a long-enough growing season.
