...A FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 245 PM CDT TUESDAY FOR
KINGMAN COUNTY...

At 922 PM CDT, local law enforcement reported flooding across the 
warned area. Up to two inches of rain have already fallen. The 
Ninnescah River in Kingman is now above flood stage and is rising at 
this time.  River flooding is now adding to the area flooding from 
recent rains.  

Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Kingman, Norwich, Cunningham, Nashville, Murdock, Waterloo,
Willowdale, Zenda, Spivey, Cleveland, Penalosa, Mt Vernon, Kingman
Airport, Rago, Cheney Lake and Cheney State Park.

Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible in the 
warned area during the overnight period. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 
deaths occur in vehicles. Use caution while driving.  Do not cross 
water covered roadways, even if you know the road well.  The roadway 
or bridge may have washed out.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the 
dangers of flooding.  Be alert for rising water during the overnight 
hours as the Ninnescah river continues to rise.  Be prepared for 
high water over roadways and evacuation orders by law enforcement 
should they become necessary overnight.
