The mayor of Stillwater, along with Stillwater Emergency Management, is releasing updated data following the recent wildfires that swept through the city last week.
They say approximately 200 homes were affected. Of those, 96 homes were destroyed in Stillwater, and 74 campers were burned at Lake Carl Blackwell.
While the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, FEMA, and the U.S. Small Business Administration are assessing the damage, early reports from city and county officials suggest that over 100 families have either lost their homes or require assistance.
Mayor Will Joyce said the city is confident in these figures and does not anticipate any further increases.
"Unfortunately, a lot of the folks that are impacted here are families. And so we really need, you know, multi-bedroom sorts of spaces. And so, you know what we've asked people to do is, is anything you've got, let us know, because we're trying to sort of fit a bunch of pieces of the puzzle together," said Joyce.
