Just change your plans.

The Red River is above flood stage.

Oklahoma authorities are likely to close the bridge on 259 over The Red River tonight or in that AM.

Authorities opened the spillway at Broken Bow Lake washing out many cabins, some were turned upside down and floated away, in Beavers Bend State Park. So The Red River will rise even more later tonight.

As many roads are closed/flooded lots of people are trapped in the area, many have been rescued or are being rescued now.

Fresh water service is out in many areas.

My mom is up there at her second home/cabin, thankfully on very high ground, she's got a stranded family from Houston staying with her.

It's rained 3/5 inches since these pics were taken.

Excuse my audio, I was a little excited to see it so high....though it did wipe out my hunting blind, multiple feeders and a few game cams. This was Saturday afternoon.
