Wichita River crest delayed; city warns of mosquitoes
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJLT) — The latest reports from the National Weather Service Thursday morning show that the Wichita River is expected to crest later than originally predicted. RELATED STORY: Wichitans prepare for potential flooding following rains City officials said there are currently no plans to preemptively cut off electricity in the city limits, and there is no need for evacuations since there is only minor street flooding within the city limits. City officials assure residents that all local agencies are staged and ready to activate if the situation changes. One concern due to the recent rains is the increase in the mosquito population. While the large mosquitoes usually seen in floodwaters are nuisance mosquitoes and not disease carriers, residents are still encouraged to wear an EPA-approved repellent. Larvae packets are available for free at the Health District during regular business hours. Spraying for mosquitoes will begin as soon as weather conditions allow for the best results.
