I was just in Oklahoma for 3 weeks. I left to travel back south to Houston Friday night, May 17th. It started raining Saturday morning, the next day. Last I heard, yesterday, they have rain in their forecasts for another 7 days.

My sister lives in this area. This happened last Monday. The text was ‘had a twin drop down.’ This is the first picture I’ve seen of it.

Erosion caused by flooding left several homes on the verge of falling into Oklahoma’s swollen Cimarron River, including at least one that was swept away in the rushing waters. https://t.co/74ypNRTSBz pic.twitter.com/5eM3Y2JDSE

I posted this in Notes on Thursday, but in case you missed it. Grew up fishing at the Webber Lock and Damn. The barges came lose of their moorings upstream. They’re now submerged blocking the damn from draining.
