Dangerous "Train Echo" = Flash Flooding Setting Up

This is a radar map of eastern Kansas and western Missouri. The thunderstorms -- which are causing heavy to torrential rains -- are lining up in what meteorologists call a "train echo" (TE). In a TE, each of the thunderstorms move down the line like the train cars move down the track. Extreme rains can accumulate in these situations, leading to major flash flooding.
