The fact that there’s still so much power out, and that it’s such a patchwork of outages, tells me that this was an extraordinary weather event in a state that’s unusual prepared for extraordinary weather events.I’m not seeing a lot of obvious problems like lines down, so I’m thinking [USER=24476]@rickm[/USER] is right, and it’s damage to substations, etc, not the kind of stuff where you’d expect to see linemen rolling.FWIW, electricity is pretty spotty in South Tulsa. The stoplights on Yale at 91st and 81st are working normally, but the lights at 71st, 61st, 51st, and Skelly are out, and the lights between 71st and 61st are either off or flashing red.And  there are way too many people out who don’t understand (or just DGAF) how to deal with stoplights that are out.</blockquote>
