We have over 205,000 people without power in Tulsa alone due to a major Ice storm. That’s over half the city. I am at my parents hose about an hour and a half away had to take the wife and kiddo somewhere warm. I have trees down all over my yard and no power. They say it could be next week before we have any. The mall ran on generators all day yesterday it was the only place with power for a 10 mile radius. The place was crazy. Had to have a full staff in just to keep the board kids for robbing me blind. No one on my staff has power so we may end up having slumber parties at the store.I will be heading back today, with a generator that will give me just enough power to run a space heater a lamp and hopefully an alarm clock so I can get to work on time. (Yea, them mall will not close they think if people have no power the will come and spend money). Lucky for me my water heater is gas so I will at least have a warm shower, that is more than a lot of people can say.
These photos were taken at about 7am it only got worse throughout the day as tree limbs came crashing down!

Generators scare me. After all the bad hurricanes a few years ago, a lot of people died here from using them incorrectly. Down with carbon-monoxide!
As always, you're welcome to come over here and sleep on our couch! We have power. We also have a lot of cats. The combination is sure to result in warmth!
Thanks everyone. Our power is back on today! YEA!!
YEAH!!! I'm so happy for you! Our neighbors got theirs back last night, too! Maybe everything will be back to normal soon!
