The overnight and early morning storms on Wednesday brought flooding to several areas of Oklahoma, including in the OKC metro. KOCO 5 crews were at various scenes, showing flooding streets and rushing waters on roadways and creeks in Pauls Valley, the northwest side of the OKC metro and Norman. KOCO 5’s Shelby Montgomery reported in Norman that ponds in the area had overflowed, flooding some roads near the University of Oklahoma. That area usually floods and causes problems for drivers during heavy rainfall. The water was so high that some drivers decided to turn around and find another way around. While some of the flooding occurred early in the morning before many people hit the roads, they still caused issues for drivers and had to be shut down in some areas as the morning continued.
