Local Weather History For July 27th...

The remains of tropical storms and hurricanes occasionally drift into
Oklahoma from the Gulf of Mexico. This often results in widespread
heavy rain. On July 26, 1959, the remains of Hurricane Debra arrived
in southeast Oklahoma, then meandered across north-central and
west-central parts of the state on the 26th and 27th. Much of the
area received three to six inches of rainfall from the storm,
resulting in many areas of minor flooding.
