OSAWATOMIE, Kan. - An oil spill added to the misery caused by widespread flooding Monday as thousands of evacuees in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas waited for water to recede from their homes.
Kansas got a break from the weather Monday, but more rain was scattered over Texas and eastern Oklahoma, the latest in nearly two weeks of storms. It was the 20th straight day that rain had fallen in Oklahoma City.
“It’s such a dynamic situation,” said Parker County, Texas, spokesman Joel Kertok. “We get a break, and then it starts raining again.” LINK

Kansas officials said Monday they were trying to contain damage from the Coffeyville Resources oil refinery spill in the Verdigris River in Coffeyville, Kan., that occurred over the weekend as raging floodwaters wreaked havoc through the southeast part of the state.
