...ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY...

In 1911, from the evening of September 6th, through the
morning of the 7th, Wichita was deluged by around 8
inches of rain, 7.99 inches to be exact.  This had been
the greatest 24 hour rainfall on record for the Air
Capital until September 12th, 2008, when 10.31 inches
inundated Mid Continent Airport.  (Now Eisenhower
Airport.) No doubt, major flash flooding occurred
throughout Western Sedgwick County.  In 1909, Topeka was
drenched with 8.08 inches of rain in 24 hours, the
greatest 24-hour total on record for the Kansas Capital.
