Power outage update
More than 1,000 outages are being reported as of 2:33 p.m. in the Pauls Valley and Maysville areas, where more freezing rain has fallen than in the Oklahoma City metro area.
In the Cotton Electric Co-Op region around Lawton, more than 6,000 customers, or nearly 30 percent of the company’s customers, were without power at 2:35, and the weather in that area continues to move northeast toward us.
It looks to be about 1/4-inch thick ice in Moore at this point, with the trees really starting to get coated and many starting to sag.
Travelwise, downed power lines have caused a big problem on I-44, where the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety about 2 p.m. shut down the interstate both north and southbound between the Norman Spur, exit 100 and Elgin, exit 53, due to lines being down across the highway.
