There are more storms in the OKC area at the moment. The line is passing
through OKC right now.
Coming from the west will probably be Ok this afternoon.
From the south on I-35 there may be delays through southern parts of OKC and
Moore areas as they are the hardest hit but the highways are open. There is
some flooding in some areas due to the heavy rains today.
From the north there may be damage along I-35 but there are no reports of it
being closed. I would not recommend highway 81 as some small towns were hit
along it north of OKC.
From Tulsa The turnpike was closed last night I haven't heard anything today
regarding the status of it today.
From the east on I-40 please be very careful as the storms are very intense
with hail and heavy rain headed east at this time.
