The Red Cross has opened a shelter for Tulsa families whose electricity is out and who need to escape the heat or canâ€™t access their homes because of downed power lines and trees.

The shelter is located at Crosstown Church of Christ at 3400 East Admiral Place.

There will be food and showers available.

Red Cross says 50 cots have been set up, although it is not known how many people will utilize the shelter.
