Ice Storms In NW Oklahoma...

That photo to the left was taken 7 January 2005 by an Alva reader on our Okie Legacy mailing list. It gives you just a slight hint of the ice storm's havoc with trees limbs down -- some dangling in mid-air. This is a view showing the southwest of our residence at the corner of 11th and Maple in Alva.

We are told that the ice storms ravaging NW Oklahoma, particularly Woods County, has caused the County Commissioners to declare Woods County a disaster area. With temporary generators on their (Alva's) water wells -- loss of electricity for eight hours or so for some -- huge electrical poles being brought down between the Dacoma road and Cherokee, in Alfalfa County -- trees/tree limbs up-rooted and scattered on the streets and highways -- Not to forget the long hours of the OG&E and other utility employees that have been out working to restore power to this northwest community and surrounding areas. Not being there in person, we can only imagine what kind of "war-zone" it must resemble. I am told it is worse than the ice storm that hit NW Oklahoma a couple of years ago.

Meanwhile, the Valley South of the San Juan Mountains - Colorado... We have been getting snow accumulations close to 3-inches or more over the past week. BUT... this weekend's Winter Storm Warning has added approximately another 9-inches or more by mid-afternoon, Saturday. AND... the inches continue to accumulate since 6 PM (MST) last night (Friday, 7 January 2005) -- continuing into Saturday -- perhaps even into Sunday... with more on the way, they say.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
