OKLAHOMA CITY -
A group of southwest Oklahoma City residents says flooding has become more common near Mustang Creek in recent years.
Michael Smith is a geologist and a trustee at the United Methodist Church of the Good Shepard. Last July, the creek’s water level rose until it was about two feet shy of the church door, Smith said, the highest it’s ever been.
Smith and Karen Graves, a fellow church trustee, said the construction of the Kilpatrick Turnpike and other developments in the area is forcing water into the creek, and is creating flooding issues.
