Flash Flooding In Kansas City Metro Closes Roads, Prompts Water Rescues; Some Stranded On Roofs

Three rounds of heavy rain inundated Kansas City Monday into early Tuesday, triggering the second major flash flood in one part of the metro area in less than a month.
The floods chased some residents onto the roofs of their homes, as local news footage showed Tuesday morning. Along the flood-prone Indian Creek, a woman was rescued from a tree after floodwaters washed her vehicle away, according to WDAF-TV.
