Here, in Oklahoma, they are on the ground&#8230;.  Over 600,000 customers without power, which includes yours truly since Sunday night around 10 pm&#8230;..  That&#8217;s households and businesses, not people&#8230;.  You would need to multiply by 2 or 3 or so to get a ballpark figure on the number of actual people affected by this&#8230;..  Needless to say, I&#8217;m very irritated at the power companies&#8230;..  I don&#8217;t care how much it would cost to place the lines underground, I think it would be cheaper in the long run, and, around here I think that would be a short run&#8230;..  we have had major outages 7 times this year&#8230;..

The cause of all this is a major ice storm, which is still going on, with 3&#8243; to 6&#8243; of snow predicted for this week-end&#8230;..  I really don&#8217;t expect power to be back up for at least 7-10 days&#8230;.  I am using the computer at work to post this and might just have to move in here as the power is still on&#8230;&#8230;  So, it&#8217;s up to those of you with power to keep things going&#8230;..
