As a Tulsa business owner and resident, I am disgusted by Gov. Stitt's mischaracterization of my city and treatment of some of our most vulnerable citizens. Shame on you Governor.

Tulsa's high was 83°!!!
That's 32° above average, and today's high destroyed the old record of 79° for 2/3, set in 1934.
The last time we were this warm was October 29!! #okwx
