A flooded home is seen near Muskogee. 

Two barges that have twice broken their restraints (click here) are floating down the Arkansas River toward the Webbers Falls lock and dam.

The barges broke their restraints a second time late Wednesday evening after they had been restrained from a previous break.


"The concern is also for the (U.S. 62) and (Interstate 40) bridges," Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Sarah Stewart said.

The barges reportedly cleared the U.S. 62 bridge. State troopers shut down that bridge in Fort Gibson on Wednesday evening due to flooding in the roadway. Troopers shut down the I-40 bridge near Ross Road in Muskogee County due to the loose barges....

Residents near the river are asked to evacuate in Tulsa.

No one should hesitate to evacuate.
