The storm’s sweeping effects have included flooding and more than 20 tornadoes in the Southern Plains.
By Jason Samenow Jason Samenow Editor and writer covering weather and climate Email Bio Follow May 21 at 2:54 PM An unusually powerful spring storm dispersed a wide range of extreme weather Monday into early Tuesday, and it has not finished its assault as it barrels northeast into the Midwest.
Flash flooding proved to be more of a widespread hazard than the tornadoes. Flooding spread from the north and west sides of Oklahoma City northeast to Tulsa, where four to eight inches of rain fell in a short time. Roads were closed, and numerous high-water rescues were required. To the northeast, in Stillwater, Oklahoma State University and Stillwater Public Schools both closed due to floodwaters Tuesday. “Many roads are impassable, with water rescues being performed from homes,” the Weather Service tweeted early Tuesday morning.
