He updated Junction City Post following the severe thunderstorm that rolled through Geary County Monday afternoon.

“We’re looking at, in Junction City, a little bit over an inch to two inches. I know of close to four inches in the area of Ascher Road and Clarks Creek Road area, which would be south east of Junction City three to four miles,” said Berges.

Berges also said reports of wind gusts up to 45-50 mph were reported near Geary State Lake.

Only minor damage was reported including some branches on power lines south of Junction City. .

Geary County Commissioner Florence Whitebread did report that the Geary County Research and Extensions Building did report some flooding as well.

“With the amount of water that we had this afternoon, they’ve got some water running in the basement up there because the down spots couldn’t take all the water and it was running through some window wells and so forth. It looks like our maintenance people will have a job ahead of them tomorrow.”

No other damage has been reported at this time.
