  • Major ice storm causes mass chaos across Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri with accidents all over the place. Freezing rain has caused over 0.50” of ice accretion in spots, turning highways into ice skating rinks. This video shows the worst of the conditions south of the OKC Metro!

      Me too. Years ago in the 1980’s I was driving to a meeting at night and did not realize the rain was turning into freezing rain, lost control of my car, spun around and off the road past the shoulder into the mud, missing a deep ravine by a few feet. So thankful nobody got hurt and I didn’t wreck my car, and missed that deep ravine. Scary as heck.

    People please if you do have to travel on the roads in these conditions.
    Do Not!!
    Vehicles can be bought again! Your jobs can wait! Your Lives can never be replaced!!

    Living in an area that gets snow and having experienced a major ice storm. If it is forecasted and you don’t have to drive don’t. If you have no choice drive slow and carry sand in your trunk incase you get stuck. If you crash don’t get out until help arrives because chances are others will be sliding into the same situation.

      This is nothing compared to 2007 in SW Missouri.
      Some areas of Springfield were without power for more than two weeks. Longer, if they had to have weatherheads repaired, etc.
      The valve on our hot water tank busted, and started spewing hot water … it ruined stuff in my bedroom closet, bedroom, laundry room, utility closet, kitchen and dining room.
      It was a TOTAL DISASTER, and we couldn’t live there for more than a month.
      My husband and I had four kids in four different schools (preschool, elementary, middle and high school)… And the six of us stayed with my parents for 5 or 6 weeks until all the repairs were made.
      What a mess. And now I have severe anxiety issues whenever there is a threat of inclement weather that could cause enough damage to knock the power out😳😬🤯😵‍💫

    I remember the winter of "67 or '68 while stationed at Ft Sill OK this happening. The locals lost their minds. Personnel from northern States just jumped in and plowed, shoveled and chauffeured where needed. I was just a kid and was dumbfounded by the locals panic at what I considered a normal winter storm.
