| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | On Wednesday thunderstorms formed near mid day in Clay, Geary, Riley, and Pottawatomie Counties. Excessive rainfall in the area was caused by many storms producing heavy rain passing over the same area. Heavy rain during the previous day caused the ground to become saturated. During the afternoon of June 16th nearly 2 more inches fell across this area in a short period of time causing flash flooding. As the storm system moved eastward it continued to produce heavy rain. As it went through Topeka it dropped 2.31 inches of rain in one hour and an additional .45 inch the next hour for a total of 2.76 inches over the two hour span between 5 pm and 7 pm. By the time the rain stopped 2.78 inches of rain fell at Billard Airport which broke the one day record rainfall total for June 16th. The record was previously held by the year 1996. Many cars stalled in flooded streets in Topeka as the water rose. In Lawrence heavy rain caused significant flooding to streets and parks within the city. At one point the Buford M. Watson park at Tennessee St and 7th St. near downtown Lawrence was under eight feet of rushing water. Numerous water rescues were conducted throughout town as motorists became stranded by the quickly rising water. Aside from Topeka and Lawrence, the hardest hit areas from the deluge were portions of Pottawatomie and Riley Counties as heavy rain caused many roads to be closed.||Flooding was not the only type of hazardous weather to impact northeastern Kansas on June 16. Some of the storms responsible for the flash flooding also brought severe hail and wind to the area. Many reports of quarter sized hail were received by the National Weather Service office in Topeka, and a storm near Junction City brought golf ball sized hail to that area around 2 PM. Strong, damaging winds associated with the storms also affected portions of Shawnee and Douglas Counties. The NWS in Topeka observed a 62 mph wind gust, and an automated weather station at Lawrence Municipal Airport reported a 58 mph wind gust. As a result of the strong winds many tree limbs up to 6 inches in diameter snapped off of trees in Topeka and Lawrence. |
