INDIANAPOLIS -- The heaviest rain missed central Indiana Friday and was expected to leave the area by the weekend.

Downtown Indianapolis recorded a little more than an inch of rain overnight, while there were larger totals to the south, 6News Meteorologist Crystal Wicker reported.

In the Frog Hollow neighborhood near Harding Street and Troy Avenue there was standing water on a few streets, 6News' Julie Pursley reported.

"I'm tired of the rain, the flood. I mean, honestly, it doesn't bother me anymore, as long as it doesn't get in my house and ruin my stuff," said Cory Carter, a long time Frog Hollow resident.

The Indianapolis Department of Public Works handed out a few hundred sandbags ahead of the rain. Crews were planning on staying on their rain routes throughout the afternoon looking for plugged storm inlets and drains.

Heavy Rain Prompts Highway Closure

It is a different story in southern Indiana, where heavy rain caused the closure of more than 10 miles of U.S. 31 in southern Indiana.

The state Department of Transportation on Friday closed most of the highway from Indiana 60 south of Sellersburg north to Henryville. The agency said the closure will remain in effect until the water recedes.

The rainfall that moved into Indiana on Thursday continued Friday in the southern part of the state. The National Weather Service says about 2.5 inches of rain fell Thursday in Bloomington, but no river flooding was reported in the area.
