Most of you are aware that Oklahoma just suffered its worst ice storm in recorded history. Initially, over 700,000 homes were without power. Living in Tulsa, I got caught right in the middle of it. After five days, my power came back on this evening. Luckily, I have a generator, so we were able to power the fridge, some lighting, and a couple of small space heaters. Using the heaters and the fireplace the temperature in the living area never fell below 62. One the other hand, I don't believe the temperature in the bedrooms ever got above 40, but that's what comforters are for.

All in all, we made do. I had only two small problems - my truck and my boat.

Glad you are Ok LM, those ice storms are tough. So tell me, who did you talk to while the power was out? I noticed it was getting mighty quite around here.

Still glad that your are ok.

Mike,

  Sorry to hear that man, I feel for all of you guys out that way. I can't imagine no power in those temps. I have been without power for 7 days but it was after Hurrican Fran and it was still blazing hot. Glad to hear that you are ok.  I would have liked to see the pics, but couldn't get the link to work.

I couldn't get the link to work either. I did something wrong or it's that piece of crap Vista on my computer. Since the pictures won't show up, I will tell you that a tree fell across both my Suburban and my boat. Luckily, no major damage was done to either. About $2000 to the truck. The boat will need a new trolling motor and jack.

BTW,  when the power went out so did my internet access.  They both came back up this evening.  I've been "Jonesing" for a BR fix.   ;D
