I definitely wasn't expecting last weekend's flooding in Indianapolis after moving from Charleston! Some good reporting from @mirrorindy.org on what folks saw out there, and how weather patterns are changing. mirrorindy.org/indianapolis...
Floods, droughts and heat domes. Is this the future?
Hoosiers should expect more extreme weather events like this Saturday’s severe storms and flooding.

During his first mayoral campaign, Joe Hogsett said he would take on “downtown insiders.”
Over a decade in office, his campaign has worked behind closed doors to advance donor interests.
