Arkansas River

I am the Arkansas river. I may be full, but probably not. If I am not full, you should ask for more rain. If I am full, it won't last.

Does anybody else want to do an Oklahoma geography trivia night with meteorologist? Give them some cities and have them place them on a map?

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

Anybody know if there is some spare Tulsa Vision money to get me a blue check?

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

Wait. Am I illegal now. What happened?!

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

Why did my alerts not function for this?!

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

I'm going to sleep. TTYL.

The venn diagram between those people and the people I will flood next is a circle.

Have you ever rented a child to gain access into OU's Meet the Sooners Day for autographs? Working on a story for August, contact me if you fit this description.

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

If you thought the flooding was unprecedented, wait until you read this twitter thread! #historic

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

You’re on.

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

So this wasn't Historic or Unprecedented. Just uncommon?

[Michael Seger @MichaelSeger]

4 years ago we also had historic rains. Atoka with over 28” of rain!

Hard to believe anything could match/top the last 30 days, but don’t have to go back very far

Heaviest rains in 2015 were southeast. Rivers in NE Oklahoma taking more of hit this year

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

Well this all makes sense now.

[Oklahoma Mesonet @okmesonet]

As a follow up from this tweet from a few days ago @Skyguy5982 shared this awesome map he put together showing more of the Arkansas River watershed and the tremendous rainfall totals from late April through May 26. Just incredible! #okwx #okmesonet

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

Just so we all know. 100,000 cfs is still ~20x normal. Next time you think "man, that looks pretty empty"

[Kevin Canfield @aWorldofKC]

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ David Williams says flow out of Keystone Dam will sat at 275,000 cfs through Thursday, reduced to 150,000 cfs by Saturday and 100,000 cfs by early next week. ASSUMING more rain does not cause plans to change.

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

Looking at the gage height for a year just really puts this into perspective.

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

@davidfholt @NewsOK It helps that your city is larger than my entire drainage basin. #justsayin

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

@Amanda_Clinton I'm not going to condone playing in the water, but I think it is important to see the destructive power of nature. It helps make sure that people understand the importance of our city's pipes and detention ponds.

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

@MikeCollierWX At least 15 years, then we will look at how cheap the land is here and figure it is worth the risk again.

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

Wonder if we can learn from ourselves?

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

Can we just not? I'm tired.

[NWSABRFC @NWSABRFC]

Unfortunately the long range forecast for the ABRFC basin is quite wet. The next seven days look especially wet in much of KS and northern OK with widespread 4+ inches of rain. Longer range outlooks to 14 days continue to show wet conditions. #okwx #OKflood

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

#waterintheriver happens at ~4,000 cfs. This is why I always look so empty.

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

I'm gonna make me one of them coral reefs and apparently shipwrecks are a good place to start. Talk to @OkAquarium,

[Tony Russell @TonyRussellTV]

The #USSBatfish , a #WWII submarine on exhibit (dry land) by the #ArkansasRiver is now flooded. #OKWX #okflood #flood2019 @WeatherNation #muskogee

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

@gtbynum 121st & Delaware. Wait. Riverside Parkway. Wait. Tuscon.

[Arkansas River @Ark_River]

@Blake_Ewing @gtbynum @FakeDeweyTulsa @fakemikeneal What happened to the band shell? Is that still lying around somewhere?

[NWSABRFC @NWSABRFC]

Releases from Lake Keystone, just upstream from the city of Tulsa, will likely cause the river to reach or slightly exceed flood stage the next few days. If this occurs, it will be the highest the river has reached in Tulsa since the 1986 flood. #okwx #OKfloods
