South central kansas resident...
Out in the country..love to ride the township roads..Went out yesterday on the hardrock to see what damage had been done over the last few weeks. Lots of flooding going on right now. No water across the roads but the ditches are full. It's kinda overpowering to see so much water in places it shouldn't be..I was born during the 51' flood in kansas..There are water lines still there in the barns where the water was up around 6 foot high..What's amazing to me is that if you look around that area, it's perfectly flat. To have gotten so much rain that it could flood the area like that is..crazy...
We could get another 2 - 5 inches over the next 3 or 4 days. Probably had over 10 inches the last week or so...By now everyone is cool..staying out of high water with their cars..People watching out for kids playing near fast moving water...
