More storms last night, probably worse over all than our last big storms with tornadic activity. We didn't get any pictures this time, but several areas did have some damage, and the flooding in the south OKC metro was BAD. Google pics for Blanchard and Norman damage, and OKC flooding. Here's a few:
I think everyone around here got anywhere from 5 to 8 inches of rain just yesterday alone. Thankfully, we live near the top of a hill (or an incline, not sure how much of a hill it is), so while we did have small rushing rivers across our yard, not much of it stayed. There was nowhere for it to soak in or stand, and it rained so hard, so it all just rushed down to the road. The neighbors on the other side of the road may have had some flooding, but most of that would be toward the backs of their properties, at the lowest point. They may all have ponds now!
I haven't heard any reports of deaths, but I don't really keep up with the news. Hopefully everyone stayed safe! They had to shut down I-35 through Norman because of tornado damage. So many people got stuck in their cars when it flooded, and the waters were getting pretty high. Moore and south OKC looked like a lake! So, hopefully at least a few people learned not to drive in that kind of weather, but there's no doubt someone else will be in the same situation next time.
I think there is another chance of similar storms again tomorrow night. Ya'll stay safe out there!
