Tulsa County puts out a warning about removing or ignoring floodwater barricades. County Commission Chief Deputy Michael Willis says there are numerous instances of people moving or driving around barricades that alert drivers to high water on roadways during the recent floods. It’s a dangerous practice that can lead to water rescues or even injury and death. He says a moved barricade may be a factor in the drowning death of a woman in the Bixby area during this most recent flood event.
Willis says moving barricades can be a matter of life or death for motorists or first responders or others on the roadway.
