Rain Dampens Douglas County Crops and Cable Outages
Rainfall varied across Douglas County from 0.11 inches in Lecompton to 1.81 inches in Worden with Lawrence totaling 0.29 inches. The storm cooled temperatures by 20 degrees, left soybeans stressed, and knocked out cable service for about 20 minutes to 1,700 Sunflower Cablevision customers in the Deerfield area. Heavy rain elsewhere aided wheat but damaged crops near Wichita, while a flash flood watch persisted into the morning.
