The John Redmond Reservoir gates have been opened and as of 5:00 this evening they are letting out around 23,000 cubic feet of water per second, which is up from the 10,000 to 12,000 they were letting out earlier. According to Labette County Emergency Manager Charlie Morse sometime around midnight they plan to up the amount to 30,000.

Morse says he doesn't see this affecting any towns. He says they are going to control it so it might to right to the edge of town but not cause any flooding in the town. There is room in the flood control pool for the reservoir so more rain won't have too much of an affect.
