Local Weather History For September 21st...
Heavy rain in southwest Oklahoma on September 21 and 22, 1969, caused
extensive flooding and damage to pasture and crop land. About 1,500
cattle were trapped by the high water, and many of them drowned. More
than 10 bridges were washed out, and fences were removed by the
floodwaters. Official rainfall measurements exceeded six inches in
some locations, and an unofficial report of 11 inches in 11 hours was
received from Hollister. The flooding was thought to be the worst in
the area since 1951.
