Stormy Day!  Stormy Night!

Storms rumbled through much of Oklahoma during the last 24 hours,
bringing strong winds and heavy rainfall with them.  Many rainfall
totals were enhanced because of the slow forward speed of the
storms.  Here are lists of some of the largest wind speeds and
rainfall accumulations observed by the Oklahoma Mesonet, including
whopping 5+ inches of rainfall at Red Rock and Kingfisher!
