20 years ago today!
Today is the 20-yr anniversary of the KC metro flash flood event. Ten lives were lost & an estimated $50 million in damages occurred. Seven of those lives were lost as people tried to drive across a flooded bridge.
As we look ahead to the next several days, several rounds of heavy rain are expected across portions of eastern Kansas and western Missouri.
Flash flooding will be a concern where the heaviest axis of rain occurs, especially for areas prone to flooding and low-lying areas. Remember to Turn around, Don't Drown!
