PSO Provides Update Following Severe Storm Damage

Downed trees, power lines and other damage are creating potentially hazardous conditions. 

Citizens should assume any downed utility line is energized, stay away from the line and do not touch it with anything.

The Public Service Company of Oklahoma is coordinating with local emergency management authorities and will continue to provide updates on the situation. 

If you have questions related to your PSO power, call 1-833-776-7697 (1-833-PSO-POWR) or click here.

The severe weather including wind gusts up to 90 mph has caused outages across the Tulsa and McAlester areas. 

PSO sustained substantial damage to the grid including transmission structures, broken poles, cross-arms, and downed wires.

Generator Safety:

If you use a generator, please follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions. 

Do not operate the unit indoors and connect appliances directly to the generator’s electric outlets. Do not connect to the main electrical panel of your home or business unless you have had an electric load transfer switch installed.

Before residents evacuate a house, disconnect your home’s main electrical breaker after you turn off the generator. This will eliminate any possibility of the generator feeding power back into PSO’s electric system.
