Powerful winds knocked power out in southeast Oklahoma City overnight. A downed power pole near S.E. 31st and Hiwassee Road cut power for a couple of hours. It was rotted at the bottom. That didn't help.

Power has been restored to those areas.

Not related to the wind, OG&E posted on Twitter that a circuit problem cut power to almost 6,700 customers in north Oklahoma City Wednesday night. It was just out for a few minutes.

If you see a downed power line, stay away and call police.

As of 7 a.m., OG&E reports that 198 customers in Prague and 209 customers in Schlegal are still without power.
