Tulsa city officials said Friday night they are “assessing conditions” after severe weather and a potential tornado moved through the northern part of the city.
At least 6,000 people in Tulsa County were left without power. 36th St. N. between N. Peoria Ave. and N. Lansing Ave. was closed due to downed power lines and a gas leak. If you smell a gas leak, you should call 911.
If you are near downed power lines, officials say to treat them as live and dangerous. You can call 1-833-776-6884 to report it.
The city said in a press release it was also receiving reports of damaged roofs and trees. Officials are asking people to stay indoors so crews have space to work. Tulsa Tech’s Peoria campus was littered with debris as its roof also appeared to suffer substantial damage.
Jack’s Memory Chapel and Northside Neighbors’ office building were also affected by the storm.
A band of thunderstorms that produced tornados and hail across eastern Oklahoma have also left two people dead in Okmulgee County, News on 6 reported.
