Overnight Storm Causes Damage Across Green Country - KTUL.com - Tulsa, Oklahoma - News, Weather & Sports

Relentless rain created puddles in some place and emergencies in others overnight. "I've lived here since about 95, and I've never seen it like this," said one Verdigris Police officer.

Verdigris Police blocked off a portion of Highway 66 overnight. It's the worst time for flooding like this. The dark deceives drivers. By the time they run into trouble it's too late. Others learned from their mistakes. In Skiatook much the same. The water was also high on Highway 20, where several drivers were stuck Monday morning.
