Hailphoto from Amber McGraw in Geary County.
Heavy rain, hail, winds and lightning swept through the Geary – Dickinson – Morris-Riley County area late Monday afternoon and early evening.
Police have not reported any injuries.
Geary County Emergency Management Director Garry Berges said the hail ranged in
size from pea to quarter size. There was flash flooding with water covering some streets.
Berges said, We knew were probably going to have some hail because the temperature dropped probably 10 degrees in two to three minutes. We knew there was a lot of cold air coming aloft.
Berges added with the amount of hail received some of the roads could be slick. That was accompanied by torrential rain. He noted the Junction City Fire Department was checking a report of a downed power line, possibly on a vehicle in the 1000 block of West 6th Street.
A check with Riley County Emergency Management revealed a barn was blown over near University Park, which is north of the city in rural Riley County. There were no injuries.
Heavy rain moved through the Manhattan area. Police dispatch did not report any hail there.
