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.

We never go above 68°, usually turn it down to 62-63° at bedtime. Last couple nights left at 64°. 71 all year for us 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.

Off and on twice during the night in Bowie. Only off about 15 minutes each time.

Ours is on a light switch.......and it worked..... I wonder how it works? I never really though about it.

Turned ours down...upstairs on 60, downstairs on 65 and 68. Got the gas fireplace running. Bad part is I gotta run the pool pump 24 hours a day to keep pipes from freezing. Hope we don't lose power. 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
