OG&E crews are operating to restore electricity after Monday's ice typhoon precipitated enormous energy outages throughout OKLAHOMA CITY.

Consistent with OG&E's system watch, greater than 98,000 clients do now not have power as of 6:15 p.M. Monday. Oklahoma town has the maximum mentioned outages, with device watch displaying that more than 78,000 clients are without power.

Ice has formed on roads, tree limbs and power lines. We have close to 500 personnel working on power restoration. All are well versed in restoration during ice storm conditions and are working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. pic.twitter.com/LXtEwIwNE4

OG&E officials said they are working to evaluate harm as crews restore strength. Recuperation estimates have been no longer to be had as of 4 PM. Monday.

Officers urge drivers to take more precautions amid these conditions as several poles had been broken Monday morning with the aid of vehicles.

Because of the dropping temperatures and the continued precipitation expected to fall in Oklahoma, KOCO five leader Meteorologist Damon Lane says power outages all through the country may be quite extensiv.
