OG&E completed restoration to customers affected by severe storms that swept across OG&E's service area earlier this week. Lightning and damaging wind caused downed power lines, broken power poles, and damage to cross arms and other equipment attached to poles. Restoration work was completed by crews, who worked tirelessly to repair the damage.
By the Numbers
- More than 80,000 customers were restored, and 98% of customers were restored within the first 48 hours.

- More than 400 distribution poles, 90 transmission poles, 170 transformers, and 1,000 cross arms were utilized in the rebuild.
