TULSA, OKLAHOMA -- Non-stop rain across much of eastern Oklahoma late Wednesday and early Thursday caused numerous flooding problems in Sequoyah, Haskell, McIntosh and Pittsburg counties.

As much as 8 inches of rain were reported across the region.

Flooding within the city limits of Sallisaw closed Sallisaw Public Schools for Thursday. The same was true for Central Public Schools in Sequoyah County.

In Haskell County, the city of Stigler also experienced flooding problems. Stigler Schools bus routes ran two hours late Thursday. City officials now say the water has receded and there are no reports of any damage.

ARLINGTON, Texas — At least two people died as the remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine caused flooding in central and north Texas, submerging much of the city of Arlington under water.

Cleburne fire chief Clint Ishmael tells the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that a man drowned Wednesday afternoon after being swept away from firefighters who were trying to rescue him from a flooded creek north of Alvarado in Johnson County. The man had been stranded in his pickup truck.

He says the man was found about 50 yards downstream.

The National Weather Service has reported that at least one person died in a vehicle submerged by water from a swollen creek in Killeen, north of Austin.

Associated Press Writers Jamie Stengle, Terry Wallace, Danny Robbins and Schuyler Dixon in Dallas contributed to this report. Jay Root reported from Austin.
