Well, that is what I was trying to ask about, as the rain apparently ended about noon, on 8/11, and I don’t have any way to know how quickly the water rose.

Is “Breaking News” based on when reported, or when it happened? And then what is the time criteria? 12 hours? One hour?

“Front Page” maybe needs a definition too: Maybe only “Big” National or International News qualifies, or something that would be a headline only for a major newspaper or major news outlet?

Breaking News should be almost as it is happening, or very shortly after. Front Page is harder to define. Widespread flooding in OK City should qualify.

Perhaps what the Admin Mod was really complaining about was how brief the report on You Tube was. If the whole report had been devoted to Oklahoma City he would have been OK with it.
