Tulsa Tours

Most companies can’t say they have an in-house meteorologist on staff, but we can! Michael tracks Oklahoma’s mercurial weather on TV, but on days off his other superpower comes alive: tour guide extraordinaire!

Please wish this weatherman and history buff a happy 3-year touraversary! 👏

Beyond forecasting, Michael is a longtime volunteer with the Disaster Resilience Network. He also had a brush with Hollywood when set designers for Twisters consulted him for his tornado expertise 🌪️

Michael says every season has its perks. What’s your favorite season in Tulsa? ❄️🌸☀️🍂

On our tunnel tour we talk about someone fascinating who people have never heard of: Josh Cosden aka the Prince of Petroleum.

At his peak, this oil tycoon was one of the richest men in Tulsa and in the entire nation. To reflect his towering status, he built the Cosden Building at 4th and Boston, which soared 16 stories and was the Tulsa's first skyscraper. Six decades later, the building grew to 36 stories and became known as the Mid-Continent Building, a lasting legacy for a forgotten legend.
