Jun 7, 2014
A large complex of thunderstorms and heavy rain moved across most of Southern Kansas during the early morning hours of June 7th, 2014. Over 2 inches of rainfall fell in and around the Wichita metro area to produce flooding of city streets and low lying areas. A complex of storms that occurred two days previous on June 5th, led to saturated soil conditions, which led to the rapid runoff of the water for the morning hours of June the 7th.
