Midland: Flash flooding swept across Texas and Oklahoma this week as deep tropical moisture from Hurricane Simon, off the west coast of Mexico, was pulled north into the Southern Plains.

In Odessa, neighbors helped stranded drivers out of flooded streets on Tuesday night. In OK Oklahoma City set a daily rainfall record of 5.59 inches on Wednesday, and southern Kingfisher County picked up 9 to 10 inches.
Two men clung to a tree before a boat rescue, a section of old Route 66 near Hydro washed out, four people escaped a vehicle in high water near El Reno, and the Canadian River near Bridgeport reached major flood stage.
