Heavy rains in Oklahoma lead to high water rescues

 


OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Thunderstorms that dropped 8 to 9 inches of rain in the Oklahoma City area early Tuesday led to high water rescues of at least 12 people in at least seven different locations, according to Oklahoma City Fire Battalion Chief Benny Fulkerson.

The rain was not associated with Hurricane Hanna, which struck the Gulf Coast of Texas, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Bruce Theron in Norman.
