Flood threats linger after heavy rains end
After three days of record storms in Oklahoma and Texas, the Red River and tributaries remain at flood risk as runoff swells creeks, with up to 18 inches of rain in parts. Four deaths tied to floodwaters and widespread damage are reported, including 60 washed away bridges in Oklahoma and $2.8 million in damages in Waco. Volunteers and officials search for those stranded near Thackerville and assess evacuations.
