TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa County and the City of Tulsa activated their Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as flooding, and the threat of flooding, continues to impact portions of Tulsa County following multiple rounds of heavy rainfall.
Staff within the Emergency Operations Center are monitoring conditions and coordinating with their respective jurisdictions, including law enforcement, emergency managers, and the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management.
The National Weather Service reports that additional rainfall is likely through Friday. Saturated soils, elevated creek levels, and ongoing runoff continue to increase the risk of flooding, especially in low-lying areas and locations that have already received significant rainfall. We are closely watching conditions along Bird Creek, Caney River, Pole Cat Creek, Coal Creek, Haikey Creek, and Snake Creek where additional rain may worsen impacts.
Multiple counties are also included in a tornado watch:
