McPherson tragedy strikes
The hail and flooding damage is no joke in McPherson, Kansas.The Severe thunder storms this year in McPherson Kansas both wall park and lakeside always get flooded when there’s a big rain storm or even a small one.
The hail and flooding damages are really bad over where we live. Do you have any thoughts on that?
“Oh yes I hate when it rains over here because my car is really low and i don’t want to water log it so i always check the weather if it even looks like it is going to rain and if it is I park a block down just in case in the morning i have to bring my work clothes with me so i can change in my car but i have to walk thought the really big puddle we have in the drive way just so i can get to my car and get to work safely it is very aggravating.”Nancy said.
One of the really big rain storms we had during the summer of 2025 me and my mom had to go to my moms friends house and stay the night there because the rain storm was so bad and we had to do to work the next day I rained so bad that day it stopped for a little bit so we went on a drive to see if we could get into our apartment complex.
There was no way we walked through the puddle to see how deep the puddle was and it was up to my knees a little above up to my thigh! There was no way we were going through that with the car or even my moms friend Tish with her truck.
I also interviewed a regular that comes into braum’s every morning, Nancy. I told her about my article and she was instantly ready for the interview.
Can you describe what you were thinking during the last hailstorm we had?
“It honestly scared me. I don’t like really loud noises. “I am very sensitive to loud noises. I put on headphones and listened to the sound of rain so I could fall asleep.”Faith said.
Tell me about the moment you first saw the damage.
“What do you mean?”Williams said.
What was your first reaction when you saw the damages on your house, your car and this town?
“I was very surprised that none of my windows cracked with all the hail. My car did not get that dented, it was not that bad. My neighbor’s car had a big dents on the top and the trunk part of her car and there was one big crack in the middle of her windshield! It was very bad!”said Williams.
The hail damages are no joke,and the flooding in McPherson is horrible.You have flooding from one side to the other there is not one side that does not have damage from the hail or flooding.Make sure you are prepared for rain storms if they come and be safe!
