13News reporter Samantha Johnson reports winds are picking up in Morgan County.
Sandbags are available to residents at the Morgan County Fairgrounds near Sunrise Street and at the Mooresville Streets Department.
As much as possible, stay out of the roads. Let us have room to do what we need to do. If you see water in the roadway, please dont go through that, Morgan County Highway Supt. Eddie Fisher said. Rivers run right through the middle of every part of the county. Its hard to keep up with this. The water takes quite awhile to get out of the ditches and the creeks when this takes place.
Morgan County Emergency Management Agency shared safety tips ahead of the storms.
A lot of our county is a flood plain, so we do have that increased potential for flooding any time there is a lot of rain, Morgan County EMA director Abby Worth said. If you are in the flood plain area or you know you have home flooding, please make sure to get sandbags ahead of time and make that barrier as best you can.

A wild Wednesday awaits us as a vigorous storm system moves through Indiana. We already have rain and storms in the area this morning, but those storms are not severe. We are watching a deep area of low pressure and a warm front. As the warm front moves through, strong to severe thunderstorms will take place.
Our highs will reach just below 80, and in the Indy metro area, numerous severe storms, 75 mph winds and oneinch hail with tornadoes is possible. To the south, this afternoon and evening, storms could be even more severe and tornadoes, potentially, more numerous from Terre Haute to Bloomington.
We will have a wind advisory, flood watch and possibly more severe watches and warnings during the day. From 4 p.m. through the overnight hours, the most volatile storms will pass through, and again, storms will be a real issue with copious amounts of rain, lightning, large hail damaging winds and possibly tornadoes.

In a feat of determination, New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker held the Senate floor with a marathon speech that lasted all night and into Tuesday evening, setting a historic mark to show Democrats resistance to President Donald Trumps sweeping actions.
Booker took to the Senate floor on Monday evening, saying he would remain there as long as he was physically able. It wasnt until more than 25 hours later that the 55yearold senator, a former football tight end, finished speaking and walked off the floor. It set the record for the longest continuous Senate floor speech in the chambers history, though Booker was assisted by fellow Democrats who gave him a break from speaking by asking him questions on the Senate floor.
It was a remarkable show of stamina as Democrats try to show their frustrated supporters that they are doing everything possible to contest Trumps agenda. Yet Booker also provided a moment of historical solace for a party searching for its way forward: By standing on the Senate floor for more than a night and day and refusing to leave, he had broken a record set 68 years ago by then Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, a segregationist, to filibuster the advance of the Civil Rights Act in 1957.
