Inaccessible roads and downed power lines in Oklahoma also led officials in the town of Claremore, near Tulsa, to announce on social media that the city was “shut down” due to the damage.

“There is a lot of damage from tonight’s storm,” said the police department in Claremore, a city about 30 miles northeast of Tulsa.

“We’ve gotten the power of the purse,” Mr. Brecheen said of his party at another town hall in Claremore, one of four in a single day during his first break from Washington since being elected, “and we’ve got to use it for all it’s worth, to be able to turn around policy and turn around this woke and weaponized government that’s been pointed at the American people.”
