An upper level storm system, which had
meandered over Texas and Oklahoma for
about two weeks ... drifted northeast into
southeastern Kansas between the 28th and
30th of June. Copius amounts of moisture
and the slow movement of the system, led
to tremendous rainfall totals over
extreme eastern Kansas. Major flooding
resulted and river levels reached near
historic highs. Three day rainfall totals
in Linn and Miami counties averaged
around 10 inches, with isolated locations
picking up nearly 15 inches of rain.

Nuisance flooding was being reported
county wide.
An upper level low pressure system and
associated frontal boundary stalled
across the area for several days,
resulting in periods of numerous and
widespread heavy showers and
thunderstorms across portions of
south-central and southeast Kansas from
early on the 27th until July 1st.
Phenomenal rainfall totals occurred
during this period, ranging anywhere from
8 inches, to as much as 20 inches,
heaviest across southeast Kansas.
Excessive runoff produced widespread,
catastrophic, record flooding across
much of southeast Kansas, particularly in
the vicinity of area rivers, streams and
creeks. Public, private and crop damage
was extensive and at times severe.
Hundreds to potentially a few thousand
homes and businesses sustained severe
flood damage, an incalculable number of
roads were closed due to high water, and
several bridges were either washed out or
sustained damage. Thousands of acres of
crops sustained severe damage. Thousands
of miles of roads were damaged from the
flood waters. Evacuations and water
rescues were common, as several towns
were for a time surrounded and/or
engulfed by flood waters. Water became
unsafe, as flood waters inundated water
and sewage treatment plants. Thousands of
residents were without power for an
extended period of time. Several counties
were declared federal disaster areas.
Public and private damages likely
exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars,
but exact monetary values will be
difficult to nearly impossible to
determine. The flooding in Coffeyville
enveloped the Coffeyville Resources
Refinery. A malfunctioning pump lead to
a 71,000 gallon crude oil spill into the
Verdigris River, leaving an oily gunk on
everything the oil touched, and
contaminating the water for miles. One
fatality occurred in Coffeyville, when a
gentleman refused to evacuate his motel
room, despite being warned twice by
emergency officials of the impending
flood. Please refer to this event in the
July 2007 StormData publication for
complete details on damages, monetary
amounts, injuries and fatalities.

Nuisance flooding was being reported

An upper level low pressure system and
associated frontal boundary stalled
across the area for several days,
resulting in periods of numerous and
widespread heavy showers and
thunderstorms across portions of
south-central and southeast Kansas from
early on the 27th until July 1st.
Phenomenal rainfall totals occurred
during this period, ranging anywhere from
8 inches, to as much as 20 inches,
heaviest across southeast Kansas.
Excessive runoff produced widespread,
catastrophic, record flooding across
much of southeast Kansas, particularly in
the vicinity of area rivers, streams and
creeks. Public, private and crop damage
was extensive and at times severe.
Hundreds to potentially a few thousand
homes and businesses sustained severe
flood damage, an incalculable number of
roads were closed due to high water, and
several bridges were either washed out or
sustained damage. Thousands of acres of
crops sustained severe damage. Thousands
of miles of roads were damaged from the
flood waters. Evacuations and water
rescues were common, as several towns
were for a time surrounded and/or
engulfed by flood waters. Water became
unsafe, as flood waters inundated water
and sewage treatment plants. Thousands of
residents were without power for an
extended period of time. Several counties
were declared federal disaster areas.
Public and private damages likely
exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars,
but exact monetary values will be
difficult to nearly impossible to
determine. The flooding in Coffeyville
enveloped the Coffeyville Resources
Refinery. A malfunctioning pump lead to
a 71,000 gallon crude oil spill into the
Verdigris River, leaving an oily gunk on
everything the oil touched, and
contaminating the water for miles. One
fatality occurred in Coffeyville, when a
gentleman refused to evacuate his motel
room, despite being warned twice by
emergency officials of the impending
flood. Please refer to this event in the
July 2007 StormData publication for
complete details on damages, monetary
amounts, injuries and fatalities.

Chase County
Rural Flood
Nuisance flooding was being reported
county wide.
An upper level low pressure system and
associated frontal boundary stalled
across the area for several days,
resulting in periods of numerous and
widespread heavy showers and
thunderstorms across portions of
south-central and southeast Kansas from
early on the 27th until July 1st.
Phenomenal rainfall totals occurred
during this period, ranging anywhere from
8 inches, to as much as 20 inches,
heaviest across southeast Kansas.
Excessive runoff produced widespread,
catastrophic, record flooding across
much of southeast Kansas, particularly in
the vicinity of area rivers, streams and
creeks. Public, private and crop damage
was extensive and at times severe.
Hundreds to potentially a few thousand
homes and businesses sustained severe
flood damage, an incalculable number of
roads were closed due to high water, and
several bridges were either washed out or
sustained damage. Thousands of acres of
crops sustained severe damage. Thousands
of miles of roads were damaged from the
flood waters. Evacuations and water
rescues were common, as several towns
were for a time surrounded and/or
engulfed by flood waters. Water became
unsafe, as flood waters inundated water
and sewage treatment plants. Thousands of
residents were without power for an
extended period of time. Several counties
were declared federal disaster areas.
Public and private damages likely
exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars,
but exact monetary values will be
difficult to nearly impossible to
determine. The flooding in Coffeyville
enveloped the Coffeyville Resources
Refinery. A malfunctioning pump lead to
a 71,000 gallon crude oil spill into the
Verdigris River, leaving an oily gunk on
everything the oil touched, and
contaminating the water for miles. One
fatality occurred in Coffeyville, when a
gentleman refused to evacuate his motel
room, despite being warned twice by
emergency officials of the impending
flood. Please refer to this event in the
July 2007 StormData publication for
complete details on damages, monetary
amounts, injuries and fatalities.
