The remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine brought copious amounts of rain to Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas on September 8th and 9th 2010 as it moved out of Texas and across Oklahoma. Much of Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas recieved 1 to 4 inches of rain. However...there was a swath of 8 to 14 inch rainfall totals across East-Central Oklahoma and West-Central Arkansas. These heavy rains led to numerous reports of flooding especially in the area of heaviest rain.
