[OKDXA] Ice

[G Ray]

Jerry ... we're back on-line now after 4 days in north
Broken Arrow.   As you say, lots of trees damaged
around here as well.
   
  Damage is much worse in central and north Tulsa
where the infrastructure has been hit - utility poles
actually broken and multiple overheads down with two
week recovery predicted.  
   
  So feel fortunate to have power back "so soon".
   
  Thanks....Gene, KD5TXL
