Local Weather History For October 1st...
In late September 1986, heavy rainfall totals produced saturated soil
conditions across parts of Oklahoma. Conditions worsened across the
area when more torrential rain fell during the first four days of
October. Rainfall amounts of 6 to 10 inches were common, while 15 to
20 inch amounts were reported over north-central Oklahoma. The
excessive rainfall caused most major rivers in the state to flood,
requiring the evacuation of about 30,000 people from 25 towns. The
floods destroyed 509 homes, damaged 3,957 others, and washed out many
roads and bridges, including two bridges on I-35.
