Indianapolis is being hit with what is being described on Twitter as “major street flooding” tonight, with vehicles in some cases sitting in water nearly up to their windows.

WISH-TV in Indianapolis Tweeted a startling photo of flooding at Castleton Square Mall.

According to cbs4indy.com, several central Indiana counties are under a flash flood warning at least until 9:15 p.m.

The heavy rain hit just two days after six tornadoes hit central Indiana. In Kokomo, at least 80 homes were destroyed after an EF-3 and EF-0 hit that area, WISH-TV reported tonight.

Storm Center 7 Meteorologist McCall Vrydaghs said there may be some isolated showers in our region this evening, but nothing like what’s happening in Indianapolis.

The National Weather Service has issued a flood advisory for Butler County until 9 p.m.
