Indiana is having a week, and not the fun kind. At least five people are dead after devastating floods swept through the state, with officials confirming Saturday that the water is still rising and first responders are basically running a boat-based Uber service for stranded residents along the White River in Indianapolis.

Mayor Joe Hogsett and other officials held a news conference to plead with residents in flood-prone areas to actually heed evacuation warnings. Because apparently, some folks need a reminder that driving into a river is not a viable commute strategy. Jerry Martin, deputy chief of the Indianapolis fire department, broke down the math: six inches of water can stall your vehicle, eight inches can move it off the road, and three inches can knock you off your feet. So, in summary: water is dangerous, and it doesn't care about your schedule.

Todd Wilson, the city's public works director, delivered the cheery update that "the water is still rising. And it will be rising all day long." Because why not add a little suspense to an already soggy situation?

The death toll includes a 58-year-old woman in Delaware county who apparently tried to drive through floodwaters - spoiler: that didn't end well. A teenager who jumped into a river on Wednesday was also found dead, and a four-year-old boy was killed earlier in the week when a tree fell on his home in Jennings county. Mother Nature is really showing off her range of disaster methods.

Flash flood warnings were issued for north-eastern Hendricks county and northern Marion county, and authorities are calling this the worst flooding in roughly 30 years. The National Weather Service reported over 11 inches (28 cm) of rain in a two-day period in some areas. The White River crested at more than 24 feet (7.32 meters) in Anderson and Noblesville, smashing records set in 1913. So, congratulations, Indiana: you've beaten a century-old record. Your prize is more flooding.

The unprecedented nature of the deluge has stretched first responders to their limits, and officials note that flooding has appeared in areas that historically stayed dry. Because climate change is nothing if not an equal opportunity disruptor.

In a move that will surprise exactly no one, Republican Governor Mike Braun confirmed that Donald Trump intends to approve his request for federal resources. Trump has been notably more generous with aid for Republican-led states than Democratic-led ones in his second term, according to the nonpartisan Urban Institute. Because disaster relief should totally be a partisan affair.

About 400 people evacuated parts of northern Indianapolis on their own, while the governor's office reported over 350 evacuations in Delaware county and a senior mobile home community in Tipton county was being evacuated. Rescues and welfare checks were also happening in Fayette county. Rita Reith, an Indianapolis fire department spokesperson, said 95 people and 45 pets had been rescued as of late afternoon. Dispatchers fielded hundreds of calls for service throughout the day.

As if the water wasn't enough, more than 150,000 people were without power as of Saturday afternoon, according to the northern Indiana public service company. So, to recap: flooding, record rainfall, power outages, and a reminder that Mother Nature doesn't care about your political affiliation. Stay safe out there, Indiana.
