TULSA, Okla. (AP) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released the largest amount of water to run through Keystone Dam in 21 years after torrential downpours soaked the Arkansas River drainage basin in northeastern Oklahoma.
On Monday, the corps released 85,000 cubic feet of water per second from the dam, about 24 miles northwest of Tulsa.
Volunteers filled over 4,000 sand bags on Saturday to help prevent flooding.
Keystone Lake is popular for boating and fishing and camping.
