Flood Rescue in Topeka

Floodwaters swept two cars off a Topeka street early Tuesday, trapping five people—including a young boy—until heroic firefighters launched a boat rescue. With power lines down and brush thick, crews worked swiftly to pull everyone to safety with no injuries reported. Police and fire departments teamed up, including Shawnee Heights Fire, while dispatchers kept trapped drivers calm. The vehicles were later towed. Authorities are warning: never drive through floodwaters—even 12 inches can sweep you away. Turn around, don’t drown. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
