Events ( edit ) The tornado formed at 1 : 19 A.M. CDT ( 06 : 19 UTC ) south of East 36th Street South and east of South Harvard Avenue and dissipated just north of Broken Arrow , Oklahoma . The worst damage along its 6.9 - mile - long ( 11.1 km ) path was in midtown Tulsa ( between South Sheridan Road and South Yale Avenue , near East 41st Street South ) , where several buildings had their roofs removed and outer walls collapsed . The Remington Tower office building ( near Skelly Drive and 41st Street ) underwent dramatic facade and window damage . The tornado also caused roof and structural damage to Promenade Mall and impacted infrastructure at the BOK Financial Corporation operations center ( near 41st and Sheridan ) , rendering its online , mobile and automated telephone systems inoperable . More than 7 people were rescued from T.G.I. Friday 's at 41st and Yale Avenue , after the roof collapsed into the building . This was the first tornado to hit the Tulsa area in the month of August since 1958 ( and only the 3rd to strike the area since 1950 ) , the tornado injured 26 people -- with two seriously injured -- in the east part of the city . Even with the tornado detectable on radar , the Tulsa County Emergency Management Agency did not begin civil defense sirens in the area because the National Weather Service did not issue a tornado warning until 1 : 25 a.m. , after which time an EF1 tornado had entered Broken Arrow , damaging multiple home roofs and several large tree branches . A second EF1 hit east of Oologah at 1 : 32 a.m. CDT ( 06 : 32 UTC ) , damaging several trees , barns and a home , downing multiple telephone poles .
