QUOTES:
"EMPORIA, Kan. - Flash flooding from a torrential rain storm swept cars off
a section of Interstate 35, killing at least four children, and authorities
were searching for others still missing Sunday.
People in five of the seven cars swept into the water about 10 miles south
of Emporia late Saturday were accounted for Sunday morning.
The National Weather Service said the Emporia area had received 8-12 inches
of rain in 24 hours beginning early Saturday. More rain and thunderstorms
were forecast Sunday for much of the Central Plains, and a flood watch was
in effect for much of Kansas.
Near Emporia, where the cars were swept off the road, the rain flooded a
creek running along the interstate. As the water continued rising late
Saturday and spilling into the roadway, it forced cars to stop along the
shoulder."
