As of 2:45pm, Evansville/ Vanderburgh County Central Dispatch sent emergency crews to 39 seperate calls related to motorists being impacted on flooded roadways.
There were 12 water rescues, 9 calls to assists motorists who were stranded but out of harms way, and 18 hazard calls for abandoned cars blocking the roadway.
Police are again reminding motorist who left thier cars on the roadways that they are responsible to have them removed when the water goes down. The cars only need to be removed enough to allow traffic to pass through the area. As long as the car is not obstructing traffic, the owners will be given time to retrieve the car.
Why do people try to drive through 2-3 feet of water in compact car? Hummer envy???? Then they open the door instead of going out the window.
