Local Risk Factors in Oklahoma City

Crutcho Creek and North Canadian River tributary flash flooding affects Midwest City and Del City neighborhoods during the intense convective storms associated with tornado outbreak events

Oklahoma City red clay soils with hydraulic conductivity as low as 0.04 in/hour create very rapid surface runoff — any rainfall above 1 inch per hour generates street flooding throughout the metro

May 2019 flood series raised the North Canadian River above flood stage three times in 30 days — repetitive flooding of the same structures within short timeframes significantly complicates cleanup and drying

Oklahoma River recreational development in the Bricktown corridor has improved flood management near downtown but has not resolved upstream tributary flooding in southeast and east OKC

Flood cleanup in Oklahoma City is concentrated in the North Canadian River watershed, which drains a substantial portion of central Oklahoma before flowing through the heart of the metro as the Oklahoma River — the 7-mile whitewater recreational corridor developed through Bricktown and southwest OKC that has become one of the city's signature public amenities. While the Oklahoma River's low-head dams and channel modifications have improved flood management near downtown, the river's upstream tributaries — including Crutcho Creek, Lake Hefner tributary channels, and the Lake Stanley Draper system in southeast OKC — regularly experience flash flooding during the intense convective rainfall events associated with the metro's severe weather season. The May 2019 flood series, which included multiple tornado outbreaks and associated heavy rainfall events, raised the North Canadian River above flood stage three times in 30 days, generating repeated flood cleanup demand across the same neighborhoods in Midwest City and Harrah. Oklahoma City's predominantly flat terrain and red clay soils — which have a saturated hydraulic conductivity as low as 0.04 inches per hour in the heaviest clay layers — create runoff rates that overwhelm street drainage systems during any rainfall event exceeding 1 inch per hour.
