Alert Details
The National Weather Service in Tulsa has issued a Flash Flood Warning for portions of northeastern Oklahoma. The alert was triggered after trained weather spotters reported active flash flooding resulting from heavy thunderstorms in the region.

What You Should Do
Residents and motorists are urged to take immediate precautions. The National Weather Service advises: "Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads."
