Gov. Kevin Stitt toured the town of Barnsdall Tuesday after a tornado ripped through the town, killing at least one, leaving one missing and destroying dozens of homes.
"Probably 60, 70 homes that were totally destroyed," Stitt told reporters, "and I think the count's up to probably 350 or so statewide now."
