On Friday morning, county officials reported
that flooding was continuing along the Kickapoo, Sugar and Salt
creeks in Logan County due to the heavy rainfall that occurred
several days ago. Conditions were slowly improving from 24 hours
previously. However, some rural roads were still covered with water,
creating a hazard for area residents.
Do not drive on flooded roadways. If the road
ahead of you is barricaded, turn around and find an alternate route.
Report any flooding to your local emergency manager or the
nearest law enforcement agency for relay to the National Weather
Service.
