TULSA, Okla. – Some much-needed sunshine glistened down on the flood-ridden communities in and around Tulsa, Oklahoma on Friday – only the worst may be yet to come amid unprecedented rain and flooding.

And scattered in and around the river, there are indeed tens of thousands in desperate need for security and aid.
