Kansas Turns Into an Ocean! Mass Flooding Destroys Homes, Cars in Wichita Today

More than 500,000 people were under various flood warnings as the thunderstorms marched eastward across the state. The full extent of impacts from the heavy rainfall were still being assessed as of Tuesday evening, but fortunately, local authorities had not reported any missing people connected to the wet weather event. Sedgwick County emergency personnel responded to roughly 200 submersion calls today, officials said in an update on the flooding Tuesday evening. Director of Sedgwick County Emergency Management Julie Stimson says the county received anywhere from 1.5 inches to 7 inches of rain, with most of the rainfall in the eastern part of the county. The Butler County Emergency Management says as the run-off from today’s torrential rainfall makes its way into area rivers, flooding problems are expected to continue, especially along the Whitewater and Walnut Rivers. Water rescues, evacuations, and sheltering operations have been occurring throughout the day in El Dorado, but the threat is expected to shift to downstream communities over the next couple of days. Severe thunderstorms roared across southeast Wyoming, the Nebraska Panhandle and northeastern Colorado Monday afternoon and evening, bringing flash flooding, damaging winds, large hail and multiple tornado sightings. In Wyoming, flash flooding was reported north of Chugwater, where the Platte County Sheriff’s Office said water covered sections of Interstate 25 near mile marker 62. Nearby county roads were also affected.
