Water spilling over the front edge in heavy rain is usually undersized gutter or too few downspouts, not a clog. Oklahoma rain arrives fast enough to overwhelm a system sized for average intensity.

Standing water in the trough after rain means the pitch is off or the outlet is blocked. Overflow at one specific point traces to a clog at that section. Staining on the siding below tells you where to look.
