EMPORIA (KSNT) – Over 30 roads are closed in Lyon County due to flooding.
On Wednesday, the National Weather Service in Topeka issued flash flood warnings for parts of Lyon County, including Emporia, southern Osage County and northwestern Franklin County.
“The way the rivers flow it’s all going to change with the influx of Cottonwood and the Neosho River, a lot of it depends on what we get west of here,” Public Relations Manager Vici Smith said.
Smith said the north side of Emporia got hit the worst with the flooding.
“I anticipate adding more (roads to the list),” Smith said. “I don’t think we’ll be able to take any of them down any time soon.”
