Flooded in Butler County? Here's how to report damage
BUTLER COUNTY, Kan. (KSNW) — Officials in Butler County and the City of El Dorado are asking residents and businesses impacted by recent flooding to report damages and request help for any unmet needs. Emergency management teams have been conducting on-the-ground assessments in flood-affected areas this week, but say they want to ensure no one is being overlooked—especially those who may need help beyond what insurance can cover. Thousands of I-135 drivers affected with Wichita closure this weekend Unmet needs may include cleaning out flooded basements, removing damaged carpets or drywall, and hauling away debris. Officials say identifying those needs now could help connect affected residents with disaster relief organizations or donors willing to assist. To streamline the process, the county has created two ways for people to report their damages: Online Form: Residents can complete an online form, which includes details and photos of the damage. Access the form here. By Phone: Residents can also call United Way's 2-1-1 line to report damage. Operators are available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Officials say that immediate responses may not be possible, but all reports will be reviewed and used to coordinate possible assistance. Residents are also encouraged to share the information with neighbors who may have been affected. For more Kansas news, click here.

Staying muggy with some showers today
Typical Saturday–clouds and showers! It is a dry, albeit muggy start with patchy fog. We will see showers develop later this morning and continue through the afternoon. This will definitely affect some outdoor plans, so my apologies in advance. It will be cooler, but still humid with highs in the low 70s. At least Sunday will be drier! I don't think we'll see a lot of sunshine tomorrow since the clouds will drag their heels, but there will be some breaks and blue sky with lower humidity. I've introduced a few showers into the forecast for Monday. And of course, we are still tracking some afternoon thundershowers on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday look like the best days of the week! Today: Cloudy with showers/storms developing late morning. Cooler, still humid. Highs in the low 70s. Tonight: Mostly cloudy with patchy fog. Lows near 60°. Sunday: Partial sun. Less humid, highs in the mid to upper 70s. Monday: Mostly cloudy with a few spotty showers. Highs in the low 70s. Tuesday: Mainly cloudy with a round of afternoon showers/storms. Highs in the low 70s. Wednesday: Brighter and warmer. Highs in the low 80s. Thursday: Nice and bright. Highs in the low to mid 80s. Friday: More clouds with a chance of showers. Highs in the low to mid 80s. Saturday: Watching for a chance of showers. Highs in the mid 70s. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
