Event narrative (NOAA)
Heavy rainfall from numerous thunderstorms during the afternoon, evening and overnight hours on the 26th produced widespread flooding across much of Greenwood county. Numerous roads remained submerged and consequently closed through early on the 28th from the high water. Sadly, a 20 year old Yates Center man died around 11 pm on the 27th when the vehicle he was riding in drove into a flooded section of road caused by the swollen Verdigris River near DD and 200th Road west of Quincy. Unfortunately, property and crop damage estimates are unavailable. The Yates Center News contributed to this report.
