Rebecca Thiele reports for WFYI:
That all came to a halt in April. Gov. Mike Braun ordered the Indiana Department of Environmental Management not to further develop climate plans under federal programs without the consent of the governor or the state legislature. 
The executive order stated that these were one-size-fits-all policies that result in "worse economic and environmental outcomes for Hoosiers."

Bernard Mokum reports for the Times:

Wind gusts reached around 100 miles per hour in some areas, according to Gov. Mike Braun, and peak flows broke a 113-year-old record for water height, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. 
This is about as widespread of a weather issue we’ve had in years,” Mr. Braun said at a news briefing on Saturday.
