Two dead in Oklahoma flooding as region remains under severe weather watch

MOORE, Oklahoma (AP) — Two people, including a child, have died in Oklahoma flooding as meteorologists warned Sunday of further flooding, thunderstorms, and tornadoes from the Midwest to the South.

Police in Moore, about 10 miles south of Oklahoma City, received dozens of reports of “high-water incidents” over the weekend including two cars stranded in flood waters Saturday evening. One car was swept away under a bridge, and police said they were able to rescue some people, but a woman and 12-year-old boy were found dead.
