Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has issued a disaster declaration for flood-ravaged Texas County. Stitt announced the move on his “X” platform.
KFOR-TV reports that Oklahoma state agencies are working with local officials to deal with massive damage to roads and homes.
Heavy rainfall earlier this week flooded roadways – including major highways in the Panhandle. That led some officials to advise people not to drive on county roads until the water levels drop.
Public safety is still a major concern.
