TULSA, Okla. — Around 5:30 PM on Dec. 14, thousands of homes and businesses went dark across parts of midtown Tulsa.

2 NEWS was among the businesses affected along Brookside and immediately received reports of outages in nearby neighborhoods and at Utica Square.

The PSO outage map showed thousands of outages across multiple neighborhoods, stretching as far north as 15th street and as far south as 51st, from Riverside to Sheridan.

In some areas, such as Harvard at the Broken Arrow Expressway, traffic lights were out while streetlights remained on.

2 NEWS spotted a power crew working on a transformer near 31st and Lewis, with southbound lanes blocked off by police. We are working to learn if this is the source of the outage.
