Devon says it will later asses the needs of tornado victims and recovery efforts, and determine if the company will contribute even more money.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of these tragic storms," said Devon President and Chief Executive Officer John Richels. "We are all saddened by the devastation, and as fellow Oklahomans, we want to do what we can to help our neighbors."
