OSAWATOMIE, Kan. — Flooding worsened Sunday across parts of Kansas and Missouri, forcing more people from their homes, and meteorologists said it could be days before rivers return to normal.
The Kansas National Guard was sent to help with a mandatory evacuation of Osawatomie as Pottawatomie Creek surged through a broken levee and workers struggled to reinforce a levee on the Marais des Cygne.
