  "summary": "Flooding in Indiana has resulted in multiple fatalities. The storms, which began on August 11, brought over 11 inches of rainfall to some parts of the state in three days, causing record floods in areas including suburbs of Indianapolis.\n\nAt least six people have died since the storms started. The victims include a four-year-old boy, two men, and three women. According to Jennings county officials, the boy was killed when a tree crashed through his bedroom during strong winds. A 19-year-old man, Matthew Morey, died after jumping off a bridge into the Mississinewa River with friends in Delaware county.\n\nThe flooding peaked in Indianapolis's White River, and rains were expected to ease in the state capital region and other parts of the state.",
