A male and female, both 74 years old, from Arcadia, Oklahoma attempted to pass through a low water crossing on the Cannonball River near 96th Ave. SW and 71st St. SW in Hettinger County at around 1:00 PM MDT on May 1. They had crossed successfully at the same location twice the day before. This crossing is locally known to have water running through it during most snowmelt and rain events. A gauge upstream near Regent showed that the river rose approximately two feet on April 30, though still well below flood stage, so no flood warning was in effect. At the time of the attempted crossing, the water was approximately three to four feet deep over the low water crossing. Their vehicle, a 2017 Ford F-250, lost traction and went into the river. The couple placed a call to 911 after they lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle was recovered 1,600 feet to the east of the crossing, with both occupants deceased inside.

Severe (D2) drought conditions continued across North-central Louisiana through mid April. This was in response to a prolonged period of dryness which began back in mid-summer 2021, coupled with above normal temperatures which persisted through much of the fall and early winter. Total rainfall amounts generally between 10-12 inches fell across these areas from August through December, which was around 50% or less of normal. Total rainfall in January was generally below average but increased in February, March, and April to near the monthly averages. This dryness contributed to lower than normal streamflow observed across area creeks, streams, and rivers.
