Lost power about an hour ago then came back on and now it's off again. Didn't have time enough to make a pot of coffee.

No issues in Durant Oklahoma yet.

I know nothing about OG&E / Oklahoma Gas and Electric or if OK is having any issues state wide.

I got lucky enough to make some. I worked 1p-1a and got home and got one hour of sleep before this started. I’ll be called back in after daylight I’m sure.

We've been out since 2am. I dont think this is a rolling black out..... we got a couple of inches of snow three years ago and we were out of power for 18 hrs. I guess thats the drawback from living amongst the trees. We must of had over 6 inches last night, so it might be a long process getting the lights back on......oh well, at least we have a gas fireplace.

You must be rich. If I did that mine would run all winter and all summer. I changed mine from 68 day to 66 day and 65 night to 64 night as of yesterday. Still won't stop running. It's 2 at my house. Luckily the electricity is still on. Half of Gainesville is out of power.


Pass the gravy.

Pipes are cheap. It is the filter I am worried about. I should have thought ahead and drained below the skimmer and drained the filter and pump. Water to refill is cheaper then filter. I don't know if this is an option with an in ground. I have a winterize setting on valve. I am doing my part on electricity use and running milkman heater on north wall near outside faucet.

Our Co-op - Coserve - rolled us off at 1:48am this morning - my beeping UPS that wouldn't 'shut-up' woke me up enough to shut it/computer down!
Only about 30 min the first time, but a couple times after that as well - I was too tired to look.
When I got up at 6:30am, power was on and house was at 57 degrees (I had thermostat set at 61 & we have propane).
3 degrees now - lowest we've had before with us here was 10 degrees.
Kitchen faucet cold side started slow/slushy - close call - I had it dripping but someone in middle of night swung the handle to hot only.

Lost power 4 times last night. We have Co-serv as well. The longest blackout was 5:30-7:15. Not much good sleep to be had last night, worrying about the pool equipment freezing over.

It looks like this is going to happen all day based on ERCOT graph
