The weekend is over, but the rain isn’t going to stop before classes begin again on Monday.

The National Weather Service has predicted the rain to continue until Wednesday afternoon. With Mesonet.org reporting an accumulation of 1.54 inches of rainfall in the past three days, Norman has been put under a flood watch.

“People were getting stuck up by the railroad tracks,” said Matt Dean, a tow truck driver for L & A Wrecker who was working overtime during Saturday’s game. “The tow trucks were getting stuck trying to tow them out!”

Although current road conditions are clear, it is always important to take proper precautions in case of flood. The National Weather Service urges everyone to avoid areas that are already flooded and being especially cautious at night.
