Heavy Rain Floods Amarillo Streets With Flash Flood Warning In Effect [VIDEO]

Heavy rainfall sweeps through Amarillo causing massive flooding of streets, especially in busy intersections.  A flash-flood warning has been issued until 10:45pm tonight, and it's advised that you just stay in and not try messing with it if you value your car.

I took a little trip in the jeep and this is what some neighborhoods are looking like.

Power outages and little blips are occurring throughout Amarillo. And Xcel Energy confirms that at least 10 power-line poles have been knocked down somewhere north of Channing, and between Amarillo and Channing, there's somewhere around 8,500 people without power right now.
