HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) - Torrential rainfall hit parts of the Plains and Midwest, flooding towns in Kansas and Texas on Thursday, toppling trees and power lines and pelting the countryside with hail.
Some central Kansas towns recorded as much as 7 inches of rain — in some places up to 2 inches per hour — starting Wednesday.
The deluge closed dozens of roads, some flooded for the second time in three weeks, said Dean Speaks, deputy emergency management director for Saline County.
