Okmulgee County emergency management officials say power crews and other responders weren't able to do their work in that area Saturday morning because so many people were trying to see the damage.

These storms came just a day after a mother and daughter died in their car in western Oklahoma.

Emergency management officials say they were struck by an unconfirmed tornado.

Governor Kevin Stitt has declared a state of emergency for eight counties in northeast Oklahoma.

Across the state, four western counties are still under a state of emergency after wildfires devastated hundreds of thousands of acres in late February.
