Bush Issues Disaster in Ind. After Storms

[Khephra]

WILLSHIRE, Ohio -- President Bush issued a disaster declaration Friday for 25 counties in storm-ravaged Indiana as flood water began receding from hundreds of homes there and in neighboring Ohio.

The disaster declaration triggered the release of federal money to help victims of the heavy rain, tornadoes and flooding that have plagued northern Indiana and Ohio.

After a week of thunderstorms, the area's forecast was finally improving Friday, said Indiana Emergency Management Agency spokesman Alden Taylor.

"We are holding our own," he said. "It's not getting worse, and it is getting better, but it is getting better slowly."
