Here's what we know about the aftermath of Bartlesville's tornado

Following a powerful tornado late Monday night, Bartlesville city crews and emergency personnel are actively responding to significant damage from across the city of Bartlesville.

The tornado, likely an EF3, left several streets closed Tuesday due to downed power lines and fallen trees, according to City Manager Mike Bailey and Washington County Emergency Management Director Kary Cox.

The storm caused significant structural damage to buildings, utilities and trees, especially in Bartlesville's southwest near the Circle Mountain area and northeast sections along Hwy 75 and Tuxedo, impacting homes and businesses.

Despite the extensive damage, no fatalities or serious injuries have been reported.

Emergency response teams, including police, fire, and street departments, were deployed after the storm struck.

Several rescues, including guests trapped at the Hampton Inn on North U.S. Highway 75, were successfully conducted by the combined efforts of Bartlesville, Dewey, and Copan fire departments.

Washington County Emergency Management is coordinating recovery efforts, which include setting up a debris drop-off site and initiating curbside pickup services for affected residents.

The debris site is located on West Highway 60 near the Green Country Rodeo Arena and was to open at noon Tuesday for tree limb disposal.

Police Chief Kevin Ickleberry emphasized the need for continued emergency responses with crews working 12-hour shifts to ensure they can respond to the community's needs as quickly as possible.

Additionally, emergency shelters and food services are operational to assist those affected. The Salvation Army is providing meals at Wilson Elementary School, and B the Light Mission is offering shelter and amenities to displaced residents.

City officials also caution residents to beware of unlicensed contractors and to report any suspicious activity to local authorities.

Residents needing to report tree blockages or property damage should contact the Public Works Department at 918-338-4130 or log damage reports at the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management's website.

Bartlesville Public Schools announced they plan to reopen Wednesday, May 8.
