CARTER COUNTY, OK - Two days after severe storms ripped across Oklahoma, residents and emergency management officials continue to survey the damage caused by tornadoes.
Governor Brad Henry declared a state of emergency in 56 counties across the state Tuesday, the first step in seeking federal assistance for the affected areas.
Emergency Management officials say the counties will now have to wait for a Presidential declaration before federal assistance will become available.
Carter County Emergency officials toured damaged homes in both Lone Grove and Healdton on Wednesday where an EF-3 tornado took out four mobile homes and one foundation home.
Officials in Johnston County say the tornado that heavily damaged the U-Cross Arena and 10 other homes in Coleman is estimated to have caused close to $3 million in damages.
