SAND SPRINGS, Oklahoma -
With all the heavy rain Thursday, rescuers had to pull dozens to safety after many failed to heed warnings not to drive in high water.
Heath Underwood with Wagoner County Emergency Management wishes people would stop risking their cars - and their lives driving through floodwater.
“The water got up too strong and too high, he said. “We had a rescue of two cars that were actually in the water down here.”
Underwood and his team used airboats to rescue about a dozen people in Coweta. Joe Cash lives in Coweta close to the flooding. He and his neighbors leapt into action when water levels rose.
