This Day In Weather History

 
In 1993, already extensive flooding took a turn for the worse as 5 to 10 inches of rain inundated Harvey County where the floods that resulted closed nearly every road in the county. In Halstead, the Little Arkansas River wasn't so little as it certainly rose to the occasion reaching what, at the time, was a record crest early on the 14th. Around 25 percent of the homes in Halstead were flooded. The flooding continued downstream, causing around $10 million damage.
