OVERLAND PARK (AP) – Emergency crews are searching a northeast Kansas creek for a 35-year-old man who told his family he was going out to look at flood waters.

Officers waded through high water in and around Indian Creek in Overland Park on Monday afternoon after the man’s family reported him missing.

The man left his Overland Park home around 10 p-m, Sunday, after several hours of heavy rain caused flash flooding around the Kansas City area.

Relatives said the man often went out to look at flash floods, but his disappearance this time was unusually long.

Around the same time Sunday night, two people were rescued from a park in nearby Leawood after their vehicle got stuck in high water.
