Excelsior Springs-MO Teen Dies Wednesday In Flash-Flood

A 16-year-old female drove her S.U.V. into floodwaters covering a low-water crossing in Excelsior Springs Wednesday. The teen and her vehicle were swept away.

Brooke Baxter- 16-drove her vehicle into a low-water crossing at N.E. 142nd Terrace and Williams Creek around 8:30 pm last night. (Thanks to "Killer" at NBC41 for the info).


Radar-estimated rainfalls of up to 5.5-inches had been indicated in that area- as I had noted on a blog post here last evening- in addition to a "flash-flood Advisory" I had issued well before the flooding began.

That and $9 gets me into a movie- I know....
