Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt says he is asking President Joe Biden for a federal disaster declaration due to this week’s winter storm. Stitt says he requested all 77 Oklahoma counties on Wednesday, a day after speaking to Biden by phone. The governor says the president pledged to support the state during the Tuesday phone conversation. Stitt declared a statewide emergency last Friday as the winter storm was approaching the state. That storm has dumped snow and ice on the state and brought days of subfreezing temperatures.
