Heavy Rain Continues Across State; Flooding Reported

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Fewer severe thunderstorms formed Thursday night across Oklahoma; however, more rain -- particularly heavy rain -- fell across the state and is again forecast for Friday.

Flash flooding was reported across Oklahoma City early Friday, including at Penn Avenue and Memorial Road in northwest Oklahoma City. In The Village, Eyewitness News 5's Kevin Sims reported that high waters had eaten away at retaining walls in a culvert used to drain water.

In northeast Oklahoma City, a tree fell and power lines were knocked down at Northeast 37th Street and MLK Boulevard. Traffic was backed up to the south, and fire crews were called to the scene, officials said.

A multi-vehicle wreck on State Highway 74 -- also known as the Lake Hefner Parkway -- shut down southbound lanes for a time.
