Flooding Mo Kan River Dams Gashed by Neosho Crest
The Neosho river rose sharply, spilling over levees near Erie and St. Paul and flood waters forcing road closures from Parsons northward. Two more levees near Erie flooded 2500 acres of alfalfa and wheat, with damages around 25000 dollars. Sunshine and warmer weather offered relief as rivers gradually receded with forecasts of return to banks by Thursday. Arkansas City clears up Walnut river damage as floodwaters recede, rail service resumes, though some homes remain evacuated and streets blocked by residual water.
