Flooding closes roads in Harvey and Reno Counties, and in Wichita

Flooding has caused road closures in Harvey and Reno County and Wichita.

The City of Wichita said portions of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Lewis and Waterman, along with the intersection of 8th St. N. and Harding, Douglas and Bleckley, English and Bleckley, are closed.   Pawnee is closed between Sheridan and Edwards, Meridian between Douglas and Maple, and Murdock, between Batting and Harding.

In Harvey County, officials said so far, no vehicles have been reported stranded and emergency personnel have not had to conduct any water rescues.  They do remind motorists to avoid driving over water covered roadways.

Just a few inches of moving water has enough power to lift a vehicle off of the road.  Flood warnings and flash flood watches are in effect for much of the KFDI listening area.

The National Weather Service says that the Little Arkansas River could reach record flood stages in Halstead and Sedgwick.  Further north, in the Saline County, officials in the town of New Cambria have asked their residents to voluntarily evacuate until Wednesday.

Reno County is also dealing with flooded roadways.
