Record rainfall across south central Kansas caused flash floods and two deaths. Five teens were rescued after their raft capsized on the Chikaskia River while three firefighters and a fourth rescuer were aided during the effort.

Authorities closed the Kansas Turnpike south of Wichita and issued flood warnings statewide.
