[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4057961, member: 5412"] Hospitals, Nursing homes, anything to do with medical or health gets first priority to get their service restored. Tulsa had 15 or so substations damaged with hundreds of poles down and lines on the ground. I heard today that 12 had been repaired but the mid town area may not recover power until the weekend. What normally happens is that when a disaster hits, the utility company's offer shared resources where line crews are sent to swarm an area and get it back as soon as possible. What happened in this situation is that the storm caused damage from Lawton to Kansas City. Every municipality is dealing with their own issues to get service back to their customers with no crews to be shared. In the past, I've seen line crews from Miami Florida in Oklahoma for tornado damage recovery, and we send our crews to them when hurricanes impact that area. We drove from Ponca to Broken Arrow today. Lots of roofs in Sand Springs gone, and trees down everywhere. This is Oklahoma where losing power to storms isn't an isolated incident. Get a generator, get it wired in correctly, and settle in for the long haul. [/QUOTE]
