Two local disaster relief agencies have been called out to help with the aftermath of weekend tornadoes that left six Oklahomans dead.

The Tulsa office of the American Red Cross reports that Muskogee Red Cross Director Hope Margarit is in Picher helping with disaster relief. Jordan Pool, community relations coordinator, has been assigned to help staff the Tulsa office while a large number of its personnel are in the field. Three Muskogee Red Cross volunteers are also in the field in Picher.

Red Cross spokesperson Nellie Kelly said one Muskogee volunteer was helping interview survivors in a disaster recovery unit. Another was helping deliver meals and beverages into stricken neighborhoods.

“I’m looking at one neighborhood, and there is not a wall standing,” Kelly said. “There is only rubble and a few people looking through what is left of their homes for some picture or keepsake.”

Monday night, officials added another storm-related death to the toll as they released the names of those killed in the tornado. They were identified as Picher residents Samuel Don Berry, 20, and his wife, Tracie Dawn Berry, 19; Chizuri Cox, 80; Mistie Dawn Kelley, 30, and Linda Christine Mathis, 48. Darrell Edward Patterson II, 28, of Wagoner, was visiting friends in Picher when he was killed.

The name of the seventh confirmed fatality was not released. That person died of carbon monoxide poisoning when fumes from a generator turned on after the storm left power outages in the area filled the home. Two other people in the house were hospitalized for carbon monoxide poisoning.

At the local office of the Salvation Army, Captain George Hackbarth reported that he was on call to go out of state. Then he was told Monday morning that enough personnel were in place.

The Arkansas-Oklahoma Division of the Salvation Army responded to victims in the aftermath of a deadly tornado that hit Ottawa County late Saturday evening. Survivors picked through the remains of their community as a result of the storm.

The Salvation Army reports that a 20-square block area was leveled and six people are confirmed dead. As of Sunday afternoon, search and rescue ended with the medical examiner stating all persons were accounted for. The Salvation Army has an emotional and spiritual care team in place.

Mobile feeding units arrived from the Tulsa Area Command and Enid to provide support to first responders including search and rescue workers and survivors. Persons with a valid picture I.D. and a confirmed addresses were let back into ground zero late Sunday.

The Salvation Army was on hand to hand out cold drinks and offer comfort to those individuals as they had their first look at the remains, if any, of their homes and personal items.

The Federal Emergency Management Administration was on site beginning Monday to do preliminary and individual damage assessments. Governor Brad Henry and First Lady Kim Henry were on site for a couple of hours visiting with first responders and victims.

National Guard troops, Oklahoma Highway Patrol and others secured the area.

In addition, the Salvation Army is responding to a tornado that affected Pittsburg County southwest of McAlester. A mobile feeding unit was sent from McAlester to Bache where damage was reported and a dozen or so homes damaged or destroyed.

Another mobile feeding unit and a crew was sent from Ada to assist in the Haywood area where the same tornado also touched down.
