SOME OF THE BUSINESSES NEARBY.
YOU WILL HEAR FROM THEM TONIGHT
AT 5.> FLOODED STREETS CLOSED
ROADS AND WATER RESCUE.
PART OF HIGHWAY 11 IS SHUT DOWN
AFTER FLOODING OVER THE
WEEKEND.
WE'RE LIVE AT HIGHWAY 11 AND
116th STREET NORTH TALKING WITH
PEOPLE ABOUT THE FLOODING AND
THE DRAMATIC WATER RESCUE
OVERNIGHT. HIGHWAY 11 IS
STILL CLOSE RIGHT NOW.
YOU CAN SEE THE BIG BARRICADES
OUT HERE BLOCKING THE STREET.
IF YOU LOOK REALLY FAR DOWN AT
THE FLASHING LIGHTS YOU CAN SEE
THE GUYS WORKING.
WATER IS STILL CROSSING HIGHWAY
11.
THAT IS THE ISSUE.
TO THE LEFT LOOK AT THE WATER
FILLING THE DISHES -- DITCHES .
PEOPLE TELL ME THEY ARE READY
FOR THIS FLOOD TO BE OVER.
WE WERE ON HIGHWAY 20
HEADED TOWARD 75 EARLIER AND
YOU CAN SEE THE MUD ON THE
ROAD.
I SAID OH MY GOSH YOU GOT
REALLY HIGH.
AMANDA WAS RUN OUT -- ONE
OF MANY DRIVERS FORCED TO TURN
AROUND BECAUSE HIGHWAY 11 WAS
CLOSED DOWN BETWEEN 116th AND
136 STREET NORTH.
AMANDA SAYS WHEN DRIVING IN
HIGH WATER SHE PLAYS IT SAFE.
I'M NOT GOING TO TRY TO GO
CRUSTED.
IF I CAN'T SEE 5 FEET ACROSS
THE WORD I'M NOT GROWING.
BUT SOME TRIED TO DRIVE
THROUGH SEVERAL FEET OF WATER
ON THE BACK ROADS.
WE WERE ON THE SCENE WERE
TROOPERS AND FIREFIGHTERS
BROUGHT OUT RESCUE BOATS AND
SEEMED A COUPLE FROM THEIR
PICKUP TRUCK.
TROOPER SAY THE WATER WAS SO
HIGH THE MAN AND WOMAN WERE
STANDING ON THE ROOF OF THE
PICKUP TRYING TO AVOID THE
WATER.
NO ONE WAS HURT.
HIGHWAY 20 IN SKIATOOK IS
BACK OPEN BUT FLOODWATERS
STILL FILLS THE DITCHES.
WITH THE WATER STARTING TO
RECEIVE SOME SAY THEY ARE GLAD
THEY CAN GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.
WE WERE PRETTY MUCH STUCK
HERE.
THERE WERE ONLY A COUPLE OF
PLACES WE COULD GO.
OFFICIALS ARE REMINDING
PEOPLE NOT TO DRIVE THROUGH ANY
OF THAT WATER.
IN THE MEANTIME, AS LONG AS THE
SUN STAYS OUT, ODOT SAYS
HIGHWAY 11 WILL REOPEN AT
SOMETIME TODAY.
WE WILL UPDATE THE STORY
