Sometimes, Ladies and Gentlemen (and the rest of you miscreants and ne'er-do-wells),
the fun is in overdoing it, right? Take for instance, west-central Oklahoma.
Places like Bessie, Elk City (there are no elks there...let's be real!), and
Hinton, who have received more rain in the last 12 hours than they've had since
June!



Heck, it's raining right now for crying out loud!



And remember, what you're seeing now is then, and what's then is now now, and
what's now is actually later than what you're seeing now.

But all this rain in such a short time, as expected, has created widespread
flooding problems across western Oklahoma, spreading east.



That map ain't pretty, and neither are these.









It's kind of a complicated setup today, dealing with stalled fronts and return
warm fronts and outflow boundaries, so the best advice I can give on this one
is to curl up in the fetal position and give up.

NO NO NO, just stay weather aware and you'll be fine. Stay in tune with your
local authorities, Emergency Managers, NWS offices, and favorite media source.

What's past is prologue, folks.
