Some flood victims can’t go home

(TULSA) – Emergency workers are still trying to get a sense of how many residents were displaced by recent storms and flooding.

Keli Cain, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, says some people who had to evacuate their homes in the past few days haven't been able to return.

Several bridges that lead to main roads are closed near to the Texas border.

Some victims are effectively cut off in the hardest hit counties like Marshal, Atoka and LeFlore.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation says nearly 30 roads in at least 18 mostly rural counties are closed due to flooding or damage.

More rain is in the forecast for Thursday evening and this weekend.
