Historic Rainstorm Roars Through Area Tuesday Night
The region endured the greatest rainfall in years, beginning Tuesday evening and continuing through the night. Rivers and creeks rose rapidly, with the Chariton river flooding banks and washing out railroad track near Memphis. Flooded streets and cellars accompanied the downpour, while several families near creeks north of Novinger evacuated. Estimates put rainfall from 3.12 to 6 inches, with the O K bridge at Novinger briefly endangered by driftwood and then relieved as water rose. James Andrews, near Lancaster, lost 150 sheep to drowning as rail lines suffered damage and sewers overflowed.
