Oklahoma City metropolitan area

He says, "Ha ha.

OKC Metro." Yeah, okay.

All right.

Oklahoma City.

I think it's a really beautiful state.

We're supposed to get in OKC Metro in the next 10 days, eight inches of rain as those two hurricanes make landfall in Mexico and then start heading north.

They'll lose all the wind speed, but they're going to bring a lot of water.

we've been a we've been in a pretty serious drought since spring since the beginning of spring like our tornado season started off pretty energetic and the weathermen were looking real worried because if it had continued we would have gotten two to three times the normal amount of tornadoes for a year but by the end of april it all had stopped and just gotten it got almost no rain and no tornadoes I think we had a tornado on the last day of May to make it so that we wouldn't have a May without tornadoes.

As Oklahoma continues through its hottest September on record, drought conditions are forcing officials to release just over 5.2 billion gallons of water into the dwindling Lake Hefner.

Since July 11th, Hefner's water level has dropped by more than five feet due to the extreme drought conditions felt across most of the OKC metro area.

The water comes from Canton Lake, located northwest of the OKC Metro.

This release will lower Canton's already below average water levels by an additional 3.5 feet, putting it nearly 5 feet below its average.

City officials say they are in collaboration with the Canton Lake Advisory Committee and that the 16,000 acre-feet release will be managed in a way that supports Oklahoma City's water supply while considering potential effects on Canton Lake.
