Topeka, Lawrence, southern Manhattan, Emporia, Junction City, Abilene, Baldwin City, Wamego, Holton, Osage City, Herington, Council Grove, Carbondale, Valley Falls, Rossville, Oskaloosa, Alma, Eskridge, Tecumseh and Eudora.

Kansas Turnpike between mile markers 116 and 205. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as other drainage areas and low lying spots. In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads. Find an alternate route. && LAT...LON 3874 9550 3843 9551 3843 9595 3824 9636 3852 9635 3852 9693 3861 9693 3861 9737 3887 9737 3958 9556 3942 9557 3942 9518 3897 9519 3898 9516 3895 9509 3899 9506 3875 9506 $$ Skow
