Severe storms and flooding across Oklahoma and Texas have left two dead, including a child, and triggered widespread emergency responses.
At least two people, including a child, have died in Oklahoma after severe storms and flooding swept through parts of the southern and midwestern United States over the Easter weekend.
The powerful storm system brought flash floods, heavy rainfall, and strong winds to areas across Oklahoma and Texas. Flood warnings were issued across Oklahoma, signaling ongoing or imminent flooding.
Authorities reported road disruptions and dozens of high-water incidents. They urged residents to stay home and said they responded to more than a dozen emergency calls from people trapped in vehicles by rising water.
The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for parts of Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Oklahoma as storms moved across the region.
