Knee Deep

Water covered many low-lying areas in Bloomington and on campus Wednesday afternoon following a thunderstorm. On campus, Dunn Meadow was covered in water as the Jordan River overflowed its banks. Around the city, areas including Kirkwood Avenue and the IN-45/46 Bypass also reported high water. The intersection of Third Street and Jordan Avenue was also flooded, said IU Police Department Sgt. Don Schmuhl.\nPower went out in various buildings around campus later in the afternoon, including the Psychology and Geology buildings, Collins Living-Learning Center, Ernie Pyle Hall and the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Schmuhl said. Water leaked into some buildings on campus, including Franklin Hall and some residence halls, he said, but the buildings should be open Thursday.
