The radar
The Western Arkansas radar (KSRX), 88 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 16:20 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Tulsa, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 23, 10:21 AM CDT, 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 10:21 AM CDT, 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
1021 AM CDT Sun Jun 23 2019
.DISCUSSION...
MCS continues to make steady progress south and east across the
forecast area. Expect this will be the main show for today with
little chance of redevelopment in its wake. Will likely see some
intensification of storms from southeast Oklahoma into west
central Arkansas by early afternoon, and this is where the main
severe weather threat will be for the rest of today.
Have adjusted pops for the rest of today based on current trends.
Will leave afternoon highs as is for now, but will monitor
temperature trends over the next few hours.
Update on the way.

FLASH FLOOD. RISK...Limited. AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. ONSET...Ongoing. HEAVY RAIN. RISK...Significant. AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. ONSET...Ongoing. DISCUSSION... Ongoing showers and thunderstorms across far eastern Oklahoma into northwest Arkansas will continue to produce areas of locally heavy rainfall, gusty winds and small hail through daybreak. Additional areas of thunderstorms across northwest Oklahoma will move east into northeast Oklahoma early this morning. An isolated brief tornado along the leading edge of the storms can't be ruled out, although the main threat early this morning will be from damaging winds. Thunderstorms will gradually strengthen later this morning and into the afternoon as they track across southeast Oklahoma into northwest Arkansas. Damaging winds and large hail be the main concern, along with isolated tornadoes this afternoon mainly across parts of southeast Oklahoma. Areas of heavy rainfall can be expected through the day, with much of the region expected to receive an additional 2 to 4 inches of rain. This will lead to areas of flooding and possible flash flooding. A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for all of eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas through tonight. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Likely. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday. MONDAY through SATURDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... Thunderstorms will be exiting southeast Oklahoma late tonight into early Monday morning. Low chances for mainly diurnal showers and thunderstorms will persist through all of next week. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information.
