INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana has picked up some decent rain from the leftovers of Hurricane Helene. We also got some crazy wind gusts 50-70 MPH, causing lots of power outages and downed trees.

We never want a tropical system to hit the U.S. with all the wind, flooding, and storm surge that comes with it. The only beneficial thing it does is bring some rain to places farther inland, many times after a hot and dry summer.
So how much rain did we pick up. We created a list as of 6 p.m. Saturday. Expect more rain Sunday and Monday. For most of us, it will just be light showers. However a few of us will get downpours that could add another quarter to half inch of rain to what we have already picked up.
Southern Indiana picked up the most. Much of central Indiana picked up 1-2 inches of rainfall. There was a band of heavier rain from Carmel and Noblesville to Knightstown to Rushville to Connersville.
Helene rainfall totals across Indiana (as of 6 p.m. Saturday) -- highest to lowest
(Note: Rain continues to fall as of Saturday evening. We are tracking misty showers with a few downpours popping northwest of Indianapolis.)
