(Tulsa-AP) -- A Tulsa woman was killed when flood swept through that city and many others Saturday morning after a night of heavy rainstorms in eastern Oklahoma.

Tulsa police say the 53-year-old woman was found on a creekbed by rescue workers at about noon.

Police say she called to report that her car was stuck in floodwater early Saturday morning. They say she then called her daughter to say she was going to leave the car.
That was the last anyone heard from her.

Elsewhere, people were evacuated by boat in Coweta and an entire mobile home park was destroyed in Kiefer.

In Sapulpa, several businesses and homes were flooded.
