Threat of Flooding Remains for Tulsa
The Arkansas River flood threat persists in Tulsa and northeastern Oklahoma as the river crested at 21.53 feet, higher than Sunday's peak and the strongest since 1923. Flood stage is 15 feet and officials say the river may stay above that marker through today while a search for two or three boys who drifted by the 1st Street Bridge continues. Rivers may rise again with anticipated rainfall and Cimarron River inflow from Keystone. Tulsa County Sheriff Brown notes outcomes depend on upcoming rain and river inputs. A divorce suit was filed in Dismet Court by Ruth Sisson against Lawrence C. Sisson.
