Holcomb posted on his Twitter account he saw “heavy flood damage in downtown Goshen” on Friday but was encouraged by the number of volunteers “coming to help fellow Hoosiers.”

Record-high flooding along the St. Joseph River closed down a wastewater treatment plant for several hours in South Bend, a city of about 100,000 residents before it restarted Thursday at limited capacity. The National Weather Service reported the river was expected to stay above its major flood stage until Tuesday.
