Social media videos show flooding in Manhattan, Kansas, caused by heavy rain.<\/p>\n

Monday night, approximately 1.5 inches of rain came down in Manhattan, Kansas, from 6 p.m. to just after 7 p.m., according to Kyle Poage, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Topeka.<\/p>\n

Poage said the precipitation \u201ccame down awfully fast, which caused some flooding in some streets in Manhattan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service collected social media footage of flash flooding and wind damage.<\/p>\n

Just before 6:30 p.m., a wind gust knocked a 6-foot diameter tree limb<\/a> into Leavenworth Street, according to NWS radar and photos from the public.<\/p>\n

A Kansas State University student recorded a video showing cars driving through<\/a> flood waters. The wake from the vehicles hit their wake hitting a flooded sidewalk just east of the K-State Campus, near Aggieville.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service said they saw a video on social media showing 8 inches of water on a road.<\/p>\n
