Heavy rain led to a busy day for first responders in Johnson County, with roads closed and drivers stranded in flood waters. "Water's starting to come through the bottom," one 911 caller told dispatchers. They got the call to County Road 225 W. "The car was out in the middle of a decent sized amount of moving water and there were three occupants on top of the vehicle," Trafalgar Fire Chief Mark Dunn said. Dunn said all three were okay when they got to the scene. Another driver used their truck to enter the water and push the other vehicle out, which Dunn said they do not recommend doing. The Johnson County Sheriff's Office said a driver on Morgantown Rd. hit water rushing over it, went off the road, through a yard and into a creek. "He was able to exit the vehicle through the sunroof before the water got higher than the vehicle," Major Andy Fisher said.
