Overview
Several rounds of storms affected central and southeast Kansas towards the end of May. May 26th and May 27th were the two days that saw the more widespread storms. While the stronger storms were not tornado producers, they did result in plenty of large hail along with significant flooding. Several days of heavy rain sent numerous rivers into flood along with producing flash flooding. |
