Good morning, Evansville.

Local veteran Jim Hitch celebrated his 100th birthday today with close friends and family gathered to honor his life.

He credited his longevity to good genes + a fulfilling life marked by his Navy service and the support of loved ones as America turns 250.

Burdette Park’s pool closed Saturday due to heavy rain causing flooding and storm damage; officials say it will reopen Monday, June 29 if clean-up efforts go well (the main office will open tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. if power is restored).

A downpour in Evansville has led to barricades on Virginia Street and Ray Becker between Claremont and Barker Avenue + a car that drove into floodwaters near Dollar General is now being assisted by firefighters.

On Saturday morning, heavy rain caused flash flooding in Evansville and nearby counties as the National Weather Service issued warnings in Vanderburgh and Warrick counties, advising residents to avoid floodwaters.

Continued heavy rainfall + previous downpours saturated the ground, leading to impassable roads.

Evansville police remind residents to follow fireworks laws ahead of Independence Day celebrations; consumer fireworks may be used from June 30 through July 9 from 5 p.m. to two hours after sunset, except on July 4 when they are allowed from 10 a.m. to midnight and must not be set off on public property (restrictions apply).
