Tulsa's Mohawk Park and the Tulsa Zoo have been shut down for the day following significant rainfalls that have drenched the city, a statement from the City Hall confirmed. The Tulsa City Hall continues to operate, and all other city services are functioning without interruptions, as reported by the City of Tulsa's official website.
No streets have been closed as yet, however, city crews are on alert for flooding or potential roadway hazards that often accompany these bouts of intense weather, with drivers urged to take extra caution and heed the universal maxim: "Turn around, don't drown" to avoid waterlogged paths, the City of Tulsa notification advises.
It is also suggested that residents become familiar with the flood warning siren tones available on the City of Tulsa website, should the need to recognize them arise—there are three distinct sounds, each indicating a different level of alert. While no warnings are issued currently, this knowledge could be crucial in a city where weather can be as unpredictable as tomorrow's fortune.
The City of Tulsa urges residents to have multiple ways to receive emergency alerts, especially during heavy rain. Make sure your devices are charged in case urgent messages are sent—these steps are important when storms bring heavy rainfall.
