Posted Aug 29, 2021 12:28 PM

UPDATE 12:15 p.m. Sunday: The flood warning for Lincoln County has been allowed to expire.

. . .

The National Weather Service in Wichita has issued a flood warning that includes Lincoln County.

The flood warning is in effect until 12:15 p.m. Sunday.

At 6:24 a.m. CDT, Doppler radar indicated numerous slow-moving thunderstorms producing very heavy rain across Russell and Lincoln counties. Between one and three inches of rain have fallen so far, with additional amounts of one to three inches possible early this morning. This may cause flooding of streams, creeks, streets, country roads, and various low-lying areas.

Do not drive into flooded areas or go around barricades. Nearly two feet of water will carry most vehicles away. Turn around, don`t drown.
