Flash flooding strands dozens in Oklahoma City
OKLAHOMA CITY – Crews have rescued at least 50 motorists and residents after flash flooding washed-out roads and inundated neighborhoods in the Oklahoma City area.
One boat carrying three rescuers to aid a 17-year-old girl clinging to a tree Monday sank in swift-moving floodwaters on the city's north side. Deputy Fire Chief Marc Woodard says all four were rescued by a second boat.
No injuries were immediately reported.
Portions of three interstates and numerous thoroughfares in and out of the metro area were closed.
Weather service meteorologist Forrest Mitchell says the area received showers and thunderstorms almost continually for the better part of six hours Monday morning. More rain was expected later in the day.
