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

In 2003, tragedy struck the Kansas Turnpike, when the
deadly Jacob Creek Flash Flood inundated a one quarter
mile section of the interstate, 12 miles southwest of
Emporia.  Seven vehicles were swept off the turnpike.
One was a minivan with a family of six, of which five
perished.  A sixth fatality resulted when a man`s vehicle
stalled.  In 1915, the temperature in Salina plunged to
42 degrees to set a record low for the city in the month
of August.
