Potential for rain and severe weather this evening. Stay aware of the weather conditions throughout the day.[May 25, 2019] - Here is an updated look at the severe weather threat area for later today/tonight. Right now, it looks like the timing of severe weather will hold off until late in the afternoon or early this evening.
Wow.This is one reason for "Turn around, don't drown". This stretch of Donmyer Road in Eastern Saline County didn't survive the floodwater.
This is the reason barricades remain after floodwaters recede, give road crews a chance to check the roads before you take a ride you won't forget.
Sheriff Soldan
I've seen some of that on some of the back dirt roads. It doesn't look deep, but under that water is a deep hole.

Rachelle Busenitz, remember this road? 😁
Friday night road closure update. Turn around, don't drown.A Friday evening update of closed roads due to flooding in Harvey County. Reminder, U.S. Highway 50 is open.

Here's a behind-the-scenes look of some of your local flood preparation in Harvey County. All the cities in the county came together this afternoon for a planning meeting to share ideas, identify potential needs and discuss how we can help each other out.
We want to have those plans and preparations in place now so we can anticipate needs as the flood threat continues (and this is a good spot for another reminder that you should have a plan in place in case you need to put it into action, too).
Stay safe. More rain is on the way this weekend.
There’s a serious lack of cookies in that meeting. We appreciate the planning and communication this month.
We personally wish the weather would give it a rest for a little bit, but since that's not happening, please add this to the list of weather-related concerns. Pay close attention to local media, social media, weather radios and other resources for weather updates tonight.558PM...A tornado watch has been issued for parts of Kansas until 12 AM CDT
Weather radios not working I wounder why.
