Governor Mary Fallin declared a state of emergency Monday for 12 Oklahoma counties due to Friday's severe storms, tornadoes and straight-line winds.

The counties included in the governor’s declaration are Adair, Cherokee, Delaware, Haskell, Johnston, Latimer, Le Flore, Muskogee, Pittsburg, Pushmataha, Sequoyah, and Tulsa.

Under the governor’s executive order, state agencies may make emergency purchases and acquisitions needed to expedite the delivery of resources to local jurisdictions. The declaration also marks a first step toward seeking federal assistance should it be necessary.

The executive order is in effect for 30 days, and could be amended to include additional counties if needed.

State and local leaders including Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John D. Doak, Rep. Matt Meredith and Cookson Fire Chief Tim Night will survey the damage and talk with those affected near Lake Tenkiller on Tuesday. 

Two tornadoes also touched down in Crawford County, Arkansas.
