Flash Flood Tops Missouri News In 1977

A September flash flood devastated parts of Kansas City and west-central Missouri, killing 25 in the metro area and causing about 100 million dollars in damage. The Progressive Farmers Association collapse ranked second, with over 7,000 investors losing roughly 12 million. The year also saw bitter cold, gas shortages, Teasdale administration turmoil, a Rabbitt conviction, tornadoes, base closures, Blue Law repeal, a long-running Hearnes probe, and a major teachers strike ending with mass firings.
