Rescuers pulled people to safety and ferried them through fast-moving floodwaters in middle Oklahoma on Tuesday after severe storms swamped the area -- and more severe weather will threaten a large portion of the central US as the day goes on.

Floodwater closed parts of Interstate 40 in Oklahoma's Canadian County, just west of Oklahoma City, after storms hit late Monday and early Tuesday.

In that county, high water was lapping up against homes in a rural area near the community of El Reno on Tuesday morning, and fire departments' swift water rescue teams were using boats to take residents to drier land.

Also in the area, video from CNN affiliate KFOR showed a woman clinging to a tree as floodwater rushed around her Tuesday morning. After one rescuer reached her and fastened a line to her, two others pulled her to safety.
