Flooding across the state continues to impact creeks and rivers.

One of our stormtrackers captured footage in Tahlequah on Saturday as a normally low creek near Northeastern State University transformed into a raging river.

No word if that has caused any damages.

The Illinois River is rising, and may hit historic levels, experts say. The river rose nearly 2 feet in Adair County overnight.

Highway 10 is closed due to localized  flash flooding with water and debris on the roadway in many areas. Driving is discouraged in that area.

The Deep Fork River rose about a foot in Okmulgee County. The rising water is causing problems for low-lying roads in the Okmulgee area.
