High water in Hobart's Turkey Creek last week. Last week's flood waters ravaged almost 1,927 Northwest Indiana homes.

Flood waters that snarled Northwest Indiana traffic when the Borman Expressway was blocked by high water also damaged more than 1,900 Northwest Indiana homes.

The American Red Cross inspected homes after last week's floods and found 1,927 homes in The Region were damaged, reports Deborah Laverty of the Northwest Indiana Times. The Indiana cities slammed hardest by the flood were Dyer, Gary, and Lake Station.
