TULSA, Okla. — With no power and a heat wave across the city, Tulsans are getting to work sharing resources, like who has gas, where cooling stations are, how to get food and more.

2 News is working to compile a list of these resources to aid the community however we can.

Tulsan Naomi Andrews put together a living document with essential information like how to recognize heat-related illnesses, generator safety, and how to avoid disaster-related scams, to name a few.

The Tulsa Area United Way also compiled a list of resources.

GAS

2 News is working to find gas stations that have gas, but many stores have quickly sold out after we learn of them having gas.

We recommend calling a gas station first to see if they have gas available.
QuikTrip provided a list on Twitter of the stores with and without gas.

POWER

The big question everyone wants to know is when the power will come back on.

OG&E is reporting around 11,000 customers still without power as of noon Tuesday.

Home Depot told 2 News around 1 p.m. Tuesday that all of their Tulsa stores are getting shipments of generators, saws, trash bags, and other essentials for storm cleanup throughout the day.

Call your local Home Depot to see if they have received their shipment yet.
