episode_narrativeSummary of flash flooding on April 26 1999:Following three to five inches of rain on April 25, a broad band of rain and thunderstorms shifted across all of eastern Oklahoma on the morning of April 26 in advance of a closed upper-level low. Widespread rainfall amounts of 1.5 to 3 inches of rain fell, bringing two-day rainfall totals for much of northeast Oklahoma into the 5- to 7-inch range. With grounds already saturated from rains the day before and creeks already flowing high, this added rainfall led to more serious flash flooding across much of northeast Oklahoma. The heaviest rain fell in the northeast corner of the state. The following are some of the heavier rainfall amounts measured on the morning of April 26 (in inches): Vinita...3.11", Claremore...3.08", Big Cabin...2.58", Commerce...2.49", Tahlequah_4N...2.09", Okemah...2.00", and Bixby_2NE...1.86". The new round of rainfall worsened what was already major mainstem river flooding.
