Heavy Rain

[Guest]

Both the White & West Fork are up & muddy this morning.

It appears they have crested, so its not a huge flood event or anything.

Just keep an eye on rainfall since we're expected to get another 3-4" of rain by sunday.

The water was so muddy from the clay, it looked reddish brown.

Oklahoma is really getting pounded.

White River at Elkins is nearly bank full, very muddy, and slowly rising. More rain and it can quickly overflow the banks.

yeah man, the White is 12ft at Wyman right now.

It tried to crest but cant with all the rain steadily falling.

I would assume its dangerous in a few places (currents, trash, LOGS)

Major creek and river flooding now underway on the southeast side of Fayetteville. Very muddy flows. Extremely dangerous, debris filled currents with large logs and entire dead trees.

Mally Wagnon road leading up to the west fork bridge is underwater. Don't try to cross it.

Both rivers are near 16ft right now.

White River is over the Mount Olive Road at Elkins. Very muddy and debris filled. Expect the mudline to go way down the lake, possibly past 12 bridge.
