In Oklahoma, people braced for more rain after a deluge turned deadly earlier in the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Two people, including a child, died Saturday night because of flooding in Moore, Oklahoma, which is a suburb outside Oklahoma City, police said. The adult woman and 12-year-old boy were inside a vehicle that was among about a dozen stuck in high water, while heavy rainfall inundated the area and, in some places, flowed up and over the curbs, according to the Moore Police Department.<\/p>\n<p>One of the vehicles left the flooded road and was swept under a bridge. Police said all of its occupants were rescued except for the woman and boy, who were later found dead.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was a historical weather event that impacted roads and resulted in dozens of high-water incidents across the city,&#8221; said Moore Police in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/moorepolice\/posts\/pfbid02S3pjJdCf3nzyhFoiKrje2ZsKrewoKJwxtHFFUwxeNQA3gao7S4Kw2jEWDuYsZPC2l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">statement<\/a>. &#8220;The Moore Police Department would like to extend a thank you to our neighboring agencies who assisted in rescue efforts.
