OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A powerful storm is dumping snow, sleet and freezing rain on Oklahoma and the southern Plains.
Ice accumulations of more than one-half inch and high winds snapped electrical lines across Oklahoma, knocking out electrical power to about 57,000 homes and businesses.
Public Service Company of Oklahoma spokeswoman Andrea Chancellor says about 30,000 of PSO's electrical customers were without power in western Oklahoma.
Sid Sperry with the Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives said power was disrupted to 20,322 customers of 8 rural electrical cooperatives in southwestern Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. reported more than 6,700 of its customers in central and southern Oklahoma communities were without power.
