Town near Atchison 'self-evacuating' as floods cut power and close roads to the north [View all]

A small Missouri town near Atchison, Kan., is emptying out as people flee floodwaters that have already cut power and closed roads farther north.

Buchanan County emergency management director Bill Brinton said Wednesday that most of the 130 or so people who live in Lewis and Clark Village had already left and others had made plans to go.

“About 60 percent of the people have evacuated and the rest are in the process,” Brinton said. “They’ve got trucks loaded waiting to evacuate if needed.”
