This is highly unusual weather for Oklahoma this late in the summer. The Arkansas river is usually a creek by now, but is currently running high and fast. Just a few miles north of us (Coffeyville, Kansas and Bartlesville, Oklahoma) rivers have overflowed, flooding up to the rooftops of houses.

While the greenery has loved this weather, I shudder to think of the economic damage it has caused to our region. But, where you expect monsoons every year, we get this about twice every century.
