Local Weather History For October 23rd...

On October 22nd and 23rd back in the year 2000, extensive flooding
occurred in and around Chickasha, when as much as 10 inches of rain
fell across Caddo and Grady counties. Portions of downtown Chickasha
were under at least 5 feet of water. Approximately 30 people were
rescued from the roof of cars and homes, and between 200 to 400
people were evacuated from their homes. Although a vast majority of
the city was flooded, the worst flooding was concentrated along
routes 62 and 81 leading into Chickasha. Damages approached $1.5
Million.
