Rep. Cynthia Roe, R-Lindsay, released the following statement regarding a tornado that struck Purcell early this morning.
“Right now, it is all hands on deck as our community responds to the tornado that struck our district. You never expect to be facing this kind of destruction in January, but that is the reality before us today. I have personally been in contact with the McClain County Emergency Management, and I am currently out in the area reaching out to constituents to see what help is needed. While we are still assessing the damage, what stands out most is the strength of our people. Time and again, Oklahomans come together to help their neighbors in moments of crisis, and I have no doubt we will do so again now. Together, we can lean on one another and come through this stronger. I am praying for every family affected by this storm and for the first responders and crews working on the ground.”
Roe encourages anyone who is able to assist with cleanup and recovery efforts to do so.
