Flooding and possibly more severe weather
What do you think?
A small town in Oklahoma is urging residents to evacuate as the Arkansas River heads toward near-historic levels.
Forecasters say major flooding is expected in Webbers Falls, a town of about 600 people about 140 miles east of Oklahoma City.
According to the National Weather Service, the Arkansas River was at 34.5 feet , or 6.5 feet above flood stage, as of Wednesday morning. The river was expected to rise to 40 feet by Thursday morning. The National Weather Service says the flooding poses an ``extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation.''
Forecasters say parts of Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas could see severe weather Wednesday, the latest in a multi-day stretch of storms that have spawned dozens of tornadoes and caused two deaths in Missouri.
