A flash flood watch means rapidly rising water or flooding is possible within the watch area. Be ready for quick action if flash flooding is observed.
Thunderstorms brought massive amounts of rain along with them at the start of the weekend, leaving several Oklahoma counties under water. Some residents in Kiefer, Glenpool and Broken Arrow were turned back Friday night as water covered roadways and access into neighborhoods.
Remember: "Turn around, don't drown!"
