Editing Muskogee, Oklahoma (section)

=== Floods ===
Muskogee is a soft spot for floods. In May 2019, waters rose more than 42 feet on the [[Arkansas River]]. Those levels had not been reached since 1943 (although 1986 came close with water 39.6 feet high). The [[USS Batfish (SS-310)|U.S.S. ''Batfish'']] docked at the city's military harbor broke free on the river.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://weather.com/news/news/2019-05-23-oklahoma-flooding-uss-batfish-muskogee-war-memorial-park|title=Muskogee, Oklahoma, Rallies to Save WWII Submarine USS Batfish From Breaking Free, Causing Disaster|publisher=The Weather Channel|date=25 May 2019|author=Eric Zerkel|access-date=October 21, 2019}}</ref> Two barges filled with tons of phosphate broke loose and threatened to break the dam they were heading towards.
