posted 03/06/09
2:02 pm
More than a full city block of the downtown area about 55 miles south of Tulsa has been destroyed. Fire officials say at one point, there was an explosion that blew out the windows of the flower shop. The fire quickly spread to other businesses, including the K&G Roundup Cafe, which is a complete loss.
Officials have closed U.S. Highway 75 which runs through the downtown area. It's believed the roadway may be closed for as many as two days.
There is no word on an exact cause of the blaze, which fire departments from Weleetka, Okmulgee, Dustin and Okemah battled.
