The National Weather Service released an updated flash flood warning at 6:15 a.m. on Thursday in effect until 9 a.m. The warning is for Clay, Jackson, Carroll, Lafayette and Ray counties.

Storm drains along Interstate 435, a beltway that encircles most of the Kansas City metropolitan area, were unable to keep up during the deluge, he said, causing the highway to flood. Most of the rescues from vehicles took place at the highway’s 23rd St. exit, he said.

Storms prompted flash flood warnings across the New York City metropolitan area Monday night, with photos showing severe flooding across the city and in parts of New York state and New Jersey.
