About the time in Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City runs on America/Chicago, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now.

Around 579,999 people live in Oklahoma City, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
