City of Tulsa Assessing Damage After Potential Tornado

3/7/2026

The City of Tulsa is currently assessing conditions following severe weather and a potential tornado that moved through North Tulsa earlier this evening.

City emergency response teams are working to assess conditions and respond to any immediate needs. Crews are also monitoring roadways and infrastructure in coordination with local emergency management partners, particularly in the areas of 36th and 46th St. N. and N. Lewis Ave. and N. Peoria Ave.

Residents are encouraged to use caution and stay away from any potential hazards such as downed power lines, blocked roadways, or storm damage.

Closures
36th St. N. between N. Peoria Ave. and N. Lansing Ave. is currently closed due to downed power lines and a gas leak. Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) will be out in the morning to remove the lines. The road will remain closed until that time. Please follow posted barricades and detours.

Damage Assessments
Scattered damage reports are coming in across parts of North Tulsa, including roof and tree damage, as well as several downed power lines.

Please do not be out if you don't have to be in order to give crews room to assess and respond.

Gas Line Safety
If you smell what you believe is a gas leak, leave the area immediately before calling 9-1-1.

PSO & Power Line Safety
There are currently 6,000+ people without power in Tulsa County - with some reports of downed power lines.

If you come across downed power lines, always treat them as live and dangerous, even if they are not sparking or smoking. Don't touch them or attempt to drive over them. To report a downed line, call 1-833-776-6884 (1-833-PSO-OUTG) or 9-1-1 in the case of an emergency.
