- At least four people died, including a four-month-old baby, and scores were injured in Oklahoma this weekend after dozens of twisters swept the U.S. Southern Plains, while weather alerts on Sunday put more than 7 million Americans under tornado warnings.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt on Sunday declared a disaster emergency for the state, freeing up more money for first responders and recovery operations.
"Definitely the most damage since I've been governor," Stitt said in Sulphur, one of the hardest-hit communities, on Sunday afternoon as he provided an update on fatalities and damage. Stitt began his first term as governor in 2019.
In a call with the Oklahoma governor, President Joe Biden offered the full support of the federal government to help with the recovery efforts, the White House said in a statement on Sunday.
Biden on Sunday declared a major disaster over the severe winter storms that flooded the State of Washington and Kansas, the White House said in a statement. The president ordered federal assistance to supplement recovery efforts in the areas affected by the winter storms.
Storm warnings for high winds, heavy rain and hail also were issued by the National Weather Service on Sunday for more than 47 million people stretching from East Texas north through Illinois and Wisconsin.
The NWS reported 38 possible twisters hit the area and that the worst of the storms rolled through Central Oklahoma on Saturday into early Sunday morning, spreading into northwest Texas, western Missouri and Kansas.
The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management said area hospitals reported 100 injuries. Twisters destroyed or damaged dozens of structures, including the hospital in the town of Marietta, although no injuries were reported there.
More than 20,000 customers in the state remained without power as of Sunday evening, according to officials, as emergency personnel worked to clear roads and repair power lines.

Soooo let's see if they get same treatment as Maui and Lahaina?
Tbh, it won't matter. We take care of our own; the entire state is already showing up to help the places that were hit. We don't wait around for help that may or may not come; too many times the feds make promises they don't keep.
@@Trainwreck_ArtHawaiians tried to help but fema and local cops interfered. The natives weren’t happy but they certainly allowed it
@@Trainwreck_Art Cry me a river already

@@bennyhonna Wait, what? Interfered how?? That can't be legal. Ya'll need to remind your local government that they can be recalled if they're not going to go to bat for you. It sucks, but unless you're super vocal about it and it's in the news, sometimes they think they can get away with whatever they want. They forget who it is they work for.
....and I bet the world will not be having collections to help THESE poor folks out. Absolutely devastating. See how fast Biden and his cronies put their hands in THEIR pockets to help.
_But changed those who wronged among them word other than (that) which was said to them. So We sent upon them torment from the sky because they were doing wrong. [Quran 7:162]_

Then of them (was he) who, We sent on him a violent storm, and of them (was he) who, seized him the awful cry and of them (was he) who, We caused to swallow him, the earth and of them (was he) who, We drowned. And not was Allah to wrong them but they were themselves doing wrong._

Pray for palistine they Struggled and heavy Losses, if we Compare this USA Situation to Gaza Genoside this is nothing.
But this has nothing to do with religious fanatics.
"Palestine" created its own problems
It has everything to do with the ignorance towards Religion. Allah is the Greatest ☝🏼
For Palestine!!
America is responsible for this
