Floodwaters block off neighborhoods and shut down roads in Green Country following rain Sunday morning

After Sunday morning's downpour, floodwaters were blocking off neighborhoods and shutting down roads in Tulsa County and Rogers County.

Officers in Skiatook are monitoring the roads, specifically those areas with a lot of ponding at Highway 20 near highway 11 and Highway 75.

"I drove all the way in here in the rain from Skiatook. And I know that 20 floods a lot,” Tabitha Hendryx said.

At Cheri’s Daylight Doughnuts in Collinsville, Hendryx said that she goes into work while it's still dark, paying attention to potential dangers.

"I don't see too many drivers because I get here so early, but we were all being really cautious about it,” Hendryx said.

Hendrix said it flooded more than she’s seen before.

People in Collinsville said that it flooded so badly on Sunday morning, that water rose up to the stop sign at the intersection at 9th and Broadway.

"Lightning was all morning. Rain all morning. And in the corner of the street, like, four-way stop, there was flooding from all the rain because it wouldn't stop,” Hendryx said.

Just a 10-minute drive south to Owasso, front yards became ponds.

96th Street North near 154th was unsafe for drivers.

Centennial Park at 86th Street North and 161st was blocked off as water from the duck pond overflowed to the Homestead neighborhood.

The National Weather Service said people underestimate the force and power of water. Just 12 inches can carry away most cars.

If drivers encounter flooded roadways, they shouldn’t even risk it. Instead, they should “turn around don't drown.”
