RAINFALL MARK IS SET IN NIGHT OF DOWNPOUR 2.7 Inches Fall on City in Less Than 10 Hours; Cars Stalled. Indianapolis was drenched during the night with t.hc heaviest rainfall ever recorded by the local weather bureau during a twelve-hour period. When forecasters completed measuring this morning, they found 2.7 inches of rain had beaten down between 9:45 Thursday night and today. Some apprehension was felt concerning probable rapid rise in Fall creek and White river. J. H. Armington, bureau chief, however, declared that a dangerous situation may be avoided because rains in other parts of the state were not as heavy as here. After the rain, Indianapolis was basked in spring-like sunshine that boosted the temperature to 62 at 9; about twenty-five degrees above normal. Cloudiness ,and a drop in the mercury to about 40 is forecast for tonight. Streets were filled with water, and on the National road near Bridgeport seven cars were stalled for hours under an elevation, where water depth was more than three feet. Deputy sheriffs Charles Suddage and Charles Heinlein guarded the place until the stalled cars were hauled away. Traffic along the road was detoured until early today. John Brown, director of the state highway commission, said hundreds of calls were received by the department during the storm by persons who were stranded and others who sought to learn condition cf roads. Brown said all state highways were clear today. Previous twelve-hour rain records were 2.34 inches on May 18, 1929, and 2.2 on July 4 and 5, 1928. Other rainfall recorded in the state during the night: Terre Haute, 1.6 inches; Bloomington, 1.51; Crawfordsville, 1.48, and Shelbyville, 3.21.
