OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management says about 4,700 homes and businesses remain without electric power from last week's winter storm.
The agency says of the 4,729 power outages, 4,696 are in Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives service areas. The other 33 are customers of Public Service Company of Oklahoma.
About 179,000 outages were reported at the height of the storm, which pummeled southern Oklahoma with freezing rain and dumped heavy snow on central and northern sections of the state over two days.
Officials say at least seven people died as a result of the storm.
