| episode_narrative | Summary of flooding events for October 4-5 1998:What started out as Oklahoma's worst-ever October tornado outbreak turned into a widespread and serious flash flood event when a steady train of supercell thunderstorms moving across northeast Oklahoma on the evening of October 4 congealed into a slow-moving line of thunderstorms early on the morning of October 5. This line of thunderstorms remained nearly stationary roughly along I-44 through the overnight and pre-dawn hours of October 5, dumping widespread rainfall amounts of 5 to 7 inches along the I-44 corridor. Some of the heaviest rain fell in the Tulsa metro area. After sunrise, the line of thunderstorms started a slow southeastward drift, causing lesser but still heavy rain amounts of 3 to 5 inches across southeast and eastcentral Oklahoma. By the time the line of thunderstorms reached the southeast corner of Oklahoma on the evening of October 5, rainfall rates were not as intense. Thus, the only county in eastern Oklahoma not to see flash flooding was Choctaw County, where rainfall amounts were generally 2.5 inches or less.Several mainstem rivers rose above flood stage from the heavy rains, including the Bird Creek at Sperry and Owasso, the Verdigris River at Lenapah, the Neosho River at Commerce and Quapaw, the Poteau River at Panama, the Deep Fork River at Beggs, the Black Bear Creek at Pawnee, and the Polecat Creek at Sapulpa and Jenks.Some rainfall totals from October 4-5 include (in inches): Page_2SE...7.11, Skiatook_4NW...6.69, Jenks Riverside Airport (RVS)...6.45, Pryor_4N...6.21, Bristow_4SE...6.08, Welty_1SSE...6.00, Lyons_2N...5.93, NWS Tulsa (NE Tulsa)...5.88, Wynona_2S...5.59, Jay_4N...5.46, Tulsa International Airport (TUL)...5.30, Kansas_1ESE...5.25, Miami_2NE...5.17, Wilburton_9ENE...5.06, Tahlequah_2NNE...5.03, Centralia_7E (Vinita mesonet)...4.46, Clayton...4.04, Copan_2ENE...4.02, Webbers Falls...3.90, Talihina_4SE...3.68, McCurtain_1SE...3.60, Marble City_4N...3.33, Wister_3ENE...3.32, Checotah...3.13, Muskogee...2.97, and Okemah...2.79. |
