Historic Floods Ravage Northwest Kansas

Torrential rains have unleashed historic flooding across northwest Kansas, washing out roads, drowning fields, and forcing ranchers to scramble to save livestock. Creeks like Sappa and Prairie Dog surged past 16 feet — the highest in 30 years — tearing through fences, carrying debris, and leaving devastation in their wake. While some farmers escaped damage, neighbors suffered heartbreaking losses, including calves found floating in rivers. Though the worst may be over, floodwaters still rush under bridges, and officials urge residents to stay away from flooded zones — a warning heeded by the community, preventing dangerous rescues. County leaders are preparing to declare a disaster, hoping to unlock critical state aid for recovery. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
