[Oklahoma City has worst flooding in living memory]
wow
Prayers up for all those affected!
Going back through the NWS forecast discussions, NWS Norman expected rain, just not quite so much, it would seem!
Just south of OKC. We had some local roads closed. It was pretty crazy.

Well, it has been dry here in Eastern OK-Ark. In our area I watched Saturday’s storms go North of us. Sunday’s storms go South of us and we did not get enough rain to settle the dust!
Today(Monday) we are having slow rains that will bring back the grass.
I remember floods in Tulsa going back to 1957. We got flooded in the 1976 Memorial day flood and my brother got flooded several years later on the same day of the year.
Now I live on high ground!
I live in Edmond on the north side of Okc. It was a lot of rain, but we had just as much or more from TS Erin back in 07.
The forecast was for less than an inch, so I didn’t lower the pool level. Within an hour of the first drops, it was obvious we were going to get hammered. So I went outside with an umbrella, in the lightening storm, and opened up the dump valve. My wife was more worried about the pool overflowing into our house, than me getting struck by lightening :). Kidding.
