Flash Floods in Edmond, Oklahoma

The Weather forcast for Edmond area was for a slight chance of rain. It started raining about 4:30 AM this morning and by 8:00 we had major flooding. The Police and Fire Departments of Oklahoma City and Edmond are pulling people from their cars and some of them are completely under water. The bridge at 15th and SantaFe is gone. Several homes, hotels and apartments have been evacuated.

As I was driving to work I took some pictures of the flooding.

All photos are of dry creeks and other places there is usually no water.
