Torrential downpours cause road collapse, business closure in Sand Springs

After weeks of little to no rain, Sand Springs got overloaded this past weekend. According to the Billie A. Hall Public Safety Center weather station in Sand Springs, the town received more than three inches of rain in a two-hour period Saturday night. The rapid downpour was enough to flood OkieSpice and Trade Co. at 107 North Main Street, causing the business’s indefinite closure. It also caused a section of 10th Street to collapse just west of 81st West Avenue.
