The City of Tulsa is continuing to assess conditions following severe weather and a potential tornado that moved through parts of North Tulsa overnight.

City emergency response teams worked throughout the night responding to damage and addressing immediate safety concerns. Damage has been confirmed in the general area between North Peoria Avenue and North Victor Avenue from 36th Street North to 50th Street North. Crews responded to approximately 10 downed power lines, several large trees and limbs down, and damage to several homes across the affected area. A damaged gas meter and underground gas leak were also reported overnight and were mitigated with assistance from Oklahoma Natural Gas and City of Tulsa personnel.

City crews continue to monitor roadways and infrastructure while working with local emergency management partners.

Residents in the affected area are encouraged to use caution and stay away from storm hazards such as downed power lines, debris, or damaged structures.

Closures
36th Street North has been cleared and reopened with help from Public Works and PSO crews.

Some localized street closures may occur while crews and residents continue cleanup and damage assessments. Residents are asked to follow posted barricades and detours and avoid affected areas if possible to allow crews to work safely.

Gas Line Safety
If you smell what you believe may be a gas leak, leave the area immediately and call 9-1-1.

Power Line Safety
If you encounter downed power lines, always assume they are live and dangerous—even if they are not sparking or smoking. Do not touch them or attempt to drive over them. Report downed lines to 9-1-1.
