Gov. Laura Kelly is asking the federal government for assistance recovering from all of the storms and tornadoes and flooding tormenting the state. On Sunday, her office said it sent a request to President Donald Trump, requesting aid for nearly half of Kansas counties.

"Kansas is experiencing damage from severe weather and historic flooding due to extended heavy rain," Kelly said. “We are working with our local, state, and federal partners to ensure Kansans have the resources they need at this challenging time.”

The Kansas Dept. of Emergency Management has also reached out to other states for an advanced team to help them coordinate interstate requests and mapping the region.

“As we work with impacted communities, I want to ensure that every resource is being brought to bear to assist local emergency personnel so we can keep people safe and limit damage to property," Kelly added.

Considering stumpys willingness to work with a liberal governor? May be
it will also consider that kansas still has a lot of donnybots running around...

South central kansas resident...

Out in the country..love to ride the township roads..Went out yesterday on the hardrock to see what damage had been done over the last few weeks. Lots of flooding going on right now. No water across the roads but the ditches are full. It's kinda overpowering to see so much water in places it shouldn't be..I was born during the 51' flood in kansas..There are water lines still there in the barns where the water was up around 6 foot high..What's amazing to me is that if you look around that area, it's perfectly flat. To have gotten so much rain that it could flood the area like that is..crazy...

We could get another 2 - 5 inches over the next 3 or 4 days. Probably had over 10 inches the last week or so...By now everyone is cool..staying out of high water with their cars..People watching out for kids playing near fast moving water...

Flooding..Wichita and surrounding...

Just another warning for people having to deal with the flooding...
Stay the hell out of waters going across the roads!!! Those of you
bound to try..and get swept down the creek..If you don't drown,
you will imperil the rescuers that could be helping the smarter people
that are stranded...

Thank you
