Event narrative (NOAA)
Over a week after heavy rains fell over central and southeastern Oklahoma, some creeks and rivers in southeastern Oklahoma remained in flood. One man drowned when he drove through a flooded area where a lumber road crossed Can Creek about 10 miles northeast of Corinne in Pushmataha County. His vehicle was found about 100 feet downstream from where the road crossed the creek and his body was found another 100 feet downstream.
