At 1:28 p.m. Tuesday, numerous creeks and streams across Logan
County were nearing flood stage as a result of between 3 and 4
inches of rain over the past 48 hours. In particular, both Salt
Creek and Lake Fork were rising rapidly and expected to spill out of
their banks later in the day. Runoff from this excessive rainfall
will cause flooding to occur. Some locations that will experience
flooding are Lincoln, Atlanta, Beason, Chestnut, Cornland, Elkhart,
Emden, Hartsburg, Latham, Middletown, Mount Pulaski and San Jose.
Precautionary, preparedness actions:
Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, country roads, and farmland along the banks of
creeks and streams.
Report any flooding to your local emergency manager or the
nearest law enforcement agency for relay to the National Weather
Service office in Lincoln.
