Well folks, most of Tulsa is in the dark, due to power outages from the ice storm that is hitting us!! Thank God for my cell phone, so I won't suffer without the internet:rolling: Anyway, just thought I would let you folks know....It could be worse.

I am in OKC. My power line is lying about 1 1/2 feet from the ground and will snap at any time. I spent 45 minutes trying to get into my car and let it run for 1 1/2 hours and now finally I peeled off the ice in large 2' x 2' sheets. If we loose power we'll have to go elsewhere or we're gonna get real cold real fast.

God Bless the Oklahoma Weather and good luck being without power.

I have still have power but it is getting ready to rain some more and that maybe the final straw. Our heat is run by electricity so I may have to take my little one and seek out another place to be.

That's it. I am moving to a house with a fireplace next time.

Just heard an update...1/3 of the state of Oklahoma is without power. Craziness. We are very blessed to still have our power. We have about 10 people coming over shortly b/c apparently we are the only ones who still have power.
