Kansas Flash Floods: Record Rainfall Submerges Vehicles, Prompts Emergency Declarations

Flash floods hit Wichita and El Dorado, Kansas, after record rainfall on June 3, 2025. Emergency services responded to numerous flooded roads and submerged vehicles. "The water came up all the way up my driveway," said one resident, Colin Fee, whose car was nearly submerged. Another video shows a water rescue in progress, with a boat struggling in the strong currents. The National Weather Service reported that the rainfall on June 3rd alone was equivalent to a month's worth of rain, breaking a record set in 1932. The event serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of flash flooding and the importance of preparedness during severe weather events.
