I don’t think the Arkansas River at Tulsa has crested yet. Its already surpassed a record set in 1945, before the lock and dam system was installed (there 15 of them on the Arkansas). This morning Julie and I drove to Poteau for my step Dad’s 80th birthday. On that drive we cross the Arkansas three times each way. The flooding in Muskogee, where three major rivers meet, was terrible. The turnpike was closed for a mile onthe south bound side where the water was over the road. These pics don’t do it justice. The first is at Three Forks in Muskogee and the second is at a lock called Kerr Lake.
Its kind of easy to see how river beds used to meander over the years before we ‘tamed’ them.
We tamed them all right.
Personally I think the Corps of Engineers fucked this thing up. That just MHO.
