Flooding in Kansas Still a Threat

Flooding in South Central Kansas isn’t done yet—Sumner and Cowley counties remain under warnings until Thursday. Heavy rain, up to seven inches in spots, has turned roads into hazards and left dangerous standing water near rivers. Officials urge everyone, especially kids, to stay away from floodwaters—something’s lurking beneath the surface. Road safety is the top concern: if you see water, don’t drive through it. The rain’s also wreaking havoc on homes, with hydrostatic pressure pushing against foundations and causing cracks. Homeowners can protect their properties by cleaning gutters, clearing window wells, and directing water away from the house—ideally 15-20 feet out. Sloped yards and driveways funnel water right toward foundations. While waters may be receding in some areas, the threat isn’t over—brace for more rain and take action now to stay safe.
