Overnight rainfall in Oklahoma included 9.32 inches at Grandfield, 8.06 inches at Trousdale, 7.68 inches at Marlow and 5.62 inches at Cox City, the National Weather Service reported. Hail also fell at Jones and Luther, Okla. Flash flood watches were in effect over large sections of Oklahoma and Texas. High water forced Norman Regional Hospital to temporarily close its emergency room when a clogged storm drain caused flooding, officials said. Morning temperatures Wednesday were below the freezing point over much of the upper Mississippi Valley, the northern half of the Plains and the Rockies. It was 3 degrees below zero in Laramie, Wyo., a record low for the date. This article is copyright 1992 The Los Angeles Times Home Edition.
