That severe thunderstorm warning earlier today wasn't for Tulsa County, but further east.
Much of the southeastern part of the state near the Arkansas border remains under a severe weather watch as I write this (check

As of 2:35 p.m. today, rainfall (in inches) since midnight:
Cloudy: 0.09
Cookson: 0.20
Jay: 0.20
Miami: 0.01
Mount Hermon: 0.12

Wednesday and Thursday.
