The Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Murray County Sheriff's Office said they're putting a strict lockdown on the downtown area to prevent looting.
Authorities said anyone in the downtown area will be arrested after 10:30 p.m., no exceptions.
People in Sulphur are recovering Sunday morning after a tornado caused significant damage to the area.
Andy Freeman the Sulphur City Manager says at least 20 people have been injured at this time, but they are still doing search and rescue.
During a press conference Sunday afternoon, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt said the damage to Sulphur was the "worst damage he's seen" during his tenure as governor, and said one person was confirmed to have been killed as a result of the tornado.
The Murray County Sheriff's Office recommends avoiding the area as they assess damage.

Sulphur Public Schools Superintendent Matt Holder released the following statement on social media Sunday:
Dear Bulldog Family:
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with our students, staff, friends and neighbors as we face the devastating loss and damage caused by last night’s tornado. We appreciate the emergency personnel who urgently responded to help our community, the utility employees who are working to restore service, and the countless volunteers who have offered their assistance during this difficult time.
Our greatest priority is the safety and well-being of our students, staff and all Sulphur residents. Currently, we are working closely with city and county emergency management officials to determine how to best move forward. We know our fellow community members have experienced injuries, loss and destruction to their homes and places of business. Most are also still without electricity and internet access, including some of our schools.
Classes will be closed tomorrow – and likely longer – to allow district officials to assess damage on school campuses and to give families time together. We will communicate more about school plans when additional information is available. We know it is important for students to return to school as quickly as it is safe and possible to do so.
Currently, we know the following about the condition of our school sites:
As of this letter the HS is without electricity.
Several sites, including Sulphur High School, have water damage.
Every bus in our transportation fleet has been severely damaged.
Most campuses and athletic fields have loose debris, broken tree limbs and downed fences.
We are grateful to the many community partners and area school districts who have offered support over the last few hours. This includes Davis Public Schools, which will provide two school buses to our district so that our track team can attend regional competition in Madill tomorrow. Coaches will send information about the competition to participants today.
We are #SulphurStrong, and the faith, resilience and unity of our community will help us overcome this tragedy. If you need immediate assistance and support, the Red Cross has resources available for residents at Crossway Baptist Church on Broadway Avenue. Our school team will also work to assist families in any way that we can.
This is a close-knit community, and we take pride in caring for one another. I know we will come together during this great time of need. Every day – but especially today – thank you for your support of Sulphur Public Schools and the Sulphur community.
Sincerely,
Matt Holder
Superintendent
