In South Bend, heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding. City officials asked residents to stay home and off the roads. Mayor Pete Buttigieg said early Tuesday that two houses have collapsed. City officials say rescues were underway because floodwaters left vehicles stranded.
The Red Cross has opened an emergency shelter.
