Heavy rains bring flooding to portions of central Kansas
WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – Parts of Kansas received significant rainfall to start the week. Storm Team 12 received reports ranging from 7.5 to 10 inches of rain west of Salina.
In the town of Tescott in Ottawa County, floodwater stranded people in their homes.
West of Brookville received 5.6 inches of rain.
Students who live in the Brookville area said that when the school bus dropped them off to go home, it was something that they’d never seen before.
“This is not normal at all,” said Halo Post, of Brookville. “We’ve never seen it flooded this much, especially all the way down the Road. We’ve seen this road flooded many times, rode bikes around it, but never seen it this high and definitely never seen it this far out and even our mayor has never seen it that far.”
Storm Team 12 expects the water to recede and the storm chances to diminish into the evening.
