Chaos in Oklahoma! Historic flooding swept away cars in Moore, OKC! 2 people are dead!

USA, April 20th, 2025. Two people were killed after two vehicles were swept off the road due to flooding caused by heavy rainfall in Moore, Oklahoma, police said. Following a search, the bodies of two people, an adult female and a 12-year-old child, were found outside one of the vehicles that were swept away, Moore police spokesperson Clint Biley said. First responders said earlier they were searching for two people in a jeep after three other people were declared safe. Police said one of those who were rescued had also been in the jeep. Two others who were rescued were in a truck. The flooding comes as more than 30 million Americans are on alert for severe weather this Easter weekend, as several states in the heartland have already been slammed with tornadoes, hail and damaging winds. The two vehicles went off the road near southeast 12th Street and Southeastern Avenue, the Moore police department said. Both vehicles were submerged in the water after being washed off a bridge. This was a historical weather event that impacted roads and caused dozens of high water incidents across the city, police said on social media. We would like to extend a thank you to our neighboring agencies who assisted in rescue efforts. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the victims. Police had earlier said they were working to assist more than a dozen motorists whose vehicles were stuck in high water. Multiple roads and neighborhoods have water over the curbs, the department said on social media late on Saturday. Stay home if at all possible. Severe thunderstorms and flooding will pose a dual threat across the central U.S. through Sunday, with the active weather pattern expected to persist almost daily this week. Rounds of severe storms packing damaging winds, large hail, tornadoes and the potential for significant flash flooding will impact more than a dozen central U.S. states through Sunday, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. The stormy weather coincides with a busy holiday weekend marked by increased travel and outdoor activities, making it especially important for residents and visitors to monitor changing conditions and stay aware of local weather alerts. Towns hit hard by flooding and tornadoes in early April will be impacted yet again by flooding rainfall and severe weather through the holiday weekend. AccuWeather senior director of forecasting operations Dan Depodwin said, we expect travel, business, supply chain and shipping disruptions across the region. Meanwhile, severe risk on Easter Sunday spans from Texas to Illinois. Easter weekend began with clusters of showers and thunderstorms lining up along a roughly 1,500 mile long stretch from just west of Dallas to Syracuse, New York. Thunderstorms along this corridor pulsed to severe limits into Saturday night. A portion of this zone will again be at risk for widespread vigorous thunderstorm activity to close out the weekend. For Easter Sunday through Sunday night, the threat of severe weather will reach its peak from Arkansas through the Missouri Valley, AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Duffis said. AccuWeather severe weather experts expect reports of wind damage and large hail to be numerous within this zone and have issued a broad moderate risk as a result, which includes the metro areas of Little Rock and St. Louis. A few tornadoes are also possible, though damaging straight-line wind gusts over 70 miles per hour will be most likely as the storms develop into a fast-moving squall line. Additionally, storms may remain gusty on Monday farther east. Thunderstorms will lose much of their vigor as they progress eastward from the Ohio and Tennessee valleys to near the central Gulf Coast during the early morning hours of Monday. By later in the day, storms can occasionally pulse to feisty levels and produce hail and strong wind gusts along with sudden downpours. Besides that, the central U.S. is to face more rounds of storms this week. Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms will frequent the middle of the nation during the middle and latter portion of this week. Areas that have been inundated with rain in recent weeks may experience a renewed flood risk, while areas of the plains states that are dealing with drought conditions will benefit from the wet pattern. The rounds of rain will be very welcome for drought relief across the high plains. AccuWeather lead storm warning meteorologist Tristan Irish said, this week's pattern will remain conducive for severe thunderstorms, particularly across the central and southern plains.
