City of Tulsa severe weather update:
The City of Tulsa is currently helping with damage assessment following a possible tornado that touched down in North Tulsa this morning.
Peoria to Delaware and Marshall to Pine streets are closed while first responders assess the damage. Damage is confined to a five to six block area.
Currently, flooding is a primary concern for the city of Tulsa and Tulsa County due to the amount of rain received from the recent storms. The Army Corps of Engineers plans to increase the release of Keystone Dam to 100,000 cubic feet at noon today. Based on weather predictions, the discharge will be increased to 160,000 cubic feet at 6 p.m. this evening. Minor flooding along the Arkansas River could occur due to the discharge.
There will be a media update at 2 p.m. today at Tulsa Police Headquarters in the Compstat Room, 600 Civic Center.
The Tulsa Area Emergency Management Association (TAEMA) Emergency Operations Center is at full activation for the damage assessment, recovery needs and the potential of minor flooding.
Currently, Mohawk Park and the Tulsa Zoo are closed due to high water and the City of Tulsa has barricades up throughout the city due to localized flooding.
Following the storm, PSO reported 2,500 people in the Tulsa city limits are out of power. Currently, PSO is reporting 1,322 outages. In some cases, weather heads may be pulled away from homes. If this is the case, residents will need to get an electrician before power can be restored.

“All the animals are safe, and that’s the most important thing,” Washington County SPCA Manager Tonya Pete said. “I’m not sure exactly what the damage to the building, our supplies and equipment will end up being.”

From PETA:
Animals should never be left chained or penned up outside, where they have no escape from rising waters, strong winds, flying debris, and collapsing structures. Dogs have been sucked into the air—doghouse and all—during tornadoes, so please advise listeners to bring animal companions indoors to safety. If anyone sees animals in distress and is unable to help, they should note their locations and alert authorities immediately.
