Heavy rain in northwest Arkansas, northeast Oklahoma, and southeast Kansas brought record flooding to the Arkansas River. As June began, it was all about the Arkansas River. After fifteen to twenty inches of rain in May across northeast Oklahoma and southeast Kansas, and massive releases from nearby lakes, the Arkansas River rose to unprecedented levels. Crests in late May/early June were more than two feet above previous high marks at Van Buren (Crawford County), Toad Suck (Perry County), and Pendleton (Desha County).
Numerous highways were closed and flooded. This included Highway 22 near Barling (Sebastian County), which did not open until water receded on the 4th (after cresting on the 1st). A 64-year-old man lost his life on this highway on May 28th after driving around a barricade.
