Wind-driven wildfires in Oklahoma have killed at least four people and resulted in 142 others being taken to local hospitals with fire-related injuries, the state's Department of Emergency Management said Sunday.

In an update released by the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management (ODEM), four deaths across the state have been confirmed due to high winds and fires.

Oklahomans are assessing the devastation after wildfires damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes around the state during a severe weather outbreak.

When people evacuated their homes in Stillwater on Friday afternoon, they thought they'd be back in a few hours. But more than 50 homes burned across the town and families began to come to terms with the loss on Saturday.
