Colwich, the town this property stands in, in 56 storm reports between 1994 and 2026: 26 thunderstorm wind, 22 hail, 5 flood, 2 heavy rain.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Continued runoff from very heavy rainfall during the afternoon, evening and overnight hours on the 26th prolonged flooding across the greater Wichita area into the afternoon hours on the 28th, including areas along the swollen Cowskin Creek. Several rural and urban roads in and around the Wichita area were closed due to high water. Unfortunately, property and crop damage estimates are unknown.
