UPDATE: Forecasters with the National Weather Service in Tulsa surveyed the storm damage in Owasso Wednesday and said they found high-end EF-1 damage.

EF-1 tornadoes have wind speeds between 86-110 miles per hour.

The Owasso City Council voted to declare a state of emergency, which they said ensures city staff can deliver a timely response to the community’s needs and make it necessary to receive state and federal assistance should assistance be necessary.

Officials say a tornado left a path of destruction, roughly half-a-mile wide and 11 miles long, from the intersection of Highway 75 and 66th Street North to the intersection of Highway 20 and Highway 169.

City of Owasso officials say the Bailey Ranch Golf Course is closed Wednesday for storm cleanup. There’s no word yet on when they plan to reopen.

Owasso Police say they’re securing neighborhoods to prevent any looting and also working on road closures so that power crews can remove any dangerous, live power lines and make repairs.

The City of Owasso says some businesses are offering a variety of free services to assist residents who are recovering from the storm. Those include:
