Winds
High winds blew out a window at Healdton Elementary School, leaving three students with cuts and scrapes. None of the students' injuries were serious enough to require being taken to a medical facility, Carter County sheriff's dispatcher Linda Shepard said.
Also in Healdton, winds gusting to an estimated 70 mph damaged power and telephone lines, toppled trees and a cell phone tower, Carter County Emergency Management Director Ed Reed said.
Traffic
In the Oklahoma City area, Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers responded to four crashes with injuries and 45 non-injury reports along the interstates during a six-hour stretch Wednesday morning.
Floodwater two to three feet deep in places closed N. Ann Arbor Ave. between NW 5th and Reno Avenues for several hours in Wednesday.
"I was driving through before they had the signs up, and my car stalled," said Greg Faulkner. He called a tow truck.
At least seven cars were reported stranded by flooding on Lindsey Street in Norman, an area notorious for flooding.
