Flash floods hit Texas and Kansas, prompting dozens of water rescues. Torrential rains overwhelmed several areas in Texas and Kansas on April 6, 2025, leading to flash flooding and numerous water rescues. Dramatic video footage shows rescue crews using inflatable boats to pull people from submerged vehicles. In Wichita, Kansas, firefighters struggled to maintain a safety line as floodwaters surged. "Wichita rescue crews responded to dozens of water rescue calls after torrential rains pounded the region," a narrator explains in the video. Meanwhile, in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, the video shows cars driving through deep floodwaters, with at least one vehicle completely submerged. One eyewitness, Joshua Conway, captured footage of the flooding and commented on the number of cars driving through the hazardous conditions. "So many people just drive through," he said, pointing out a floating car. The National Weather Service issued more flood warnings as flash flooding stranded Texas drivers. The video serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of flash flooding and the importance of heeding weather warnings.
