A minor league hockey game was postponed this evening after the severe weather in Oklahoma caused the arena to flood. Game 4 of the AHL Western Conference Final, scheduled to be played between the Oklahoma City Barons and the Grand Rapids Griffins in Oklahoma City’s Cox Convention Center, was initially delayed as severe weather warnings alerted those in attendance of the coming danger. Fans were evacuated and then ushered into the underground parking garage underneath the stadium, where they waited as violent tornadoes ripped across the land above. The game was postponed indefinitely due to a water line breaking and flooding the arena. Here are some photos of the water rushing in.
