On the night of June 3, a flash flood emergency hit the Tulsa, Oklahoma metropolitan area as the National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated that between 3 to 5 inches of rain poured down within hours due to training thunderstorms — storms that repeatedly move over the same region like freight cars on a track. Areas including Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Glenpool, and Tulsa itself faced flash flooding affecting streets, underpasses, and urban drainage systems. At the same time, the NWS Dallas-Fort Worth issued severe weather warnings for Van Zandt, Rains, Hopkins, and Hunt counties on June 2, with expectations of additional storm systems throughout the weekend. A flood watch is currently in effect across 12 states — the same training storm pattern that resulted in over 100 fatalities in the Texas Hill Country in July 2025 has resurfaced this week.
