In an electrical emergency in Oklahoma City, move everyone away from whatever is sparking, smoking or smelling hot. If there is smoke or flame, get out and call the fire department first.

Oklahoma City sits in the middle of Tornado Alley, and wind, hail and ice drive its electrical emergencies. Spring brings tornado outbreaks and violent storms, summer heat keeps air conditioning running for months, and winter ice storms have taken lines down across the metro for days. The Paseo, Mesta Park, Capitol Hill and the near northwest have homes from the 1920s on, with services stretched ever since.
What an electrician tends to find here
Ice and wind damage here tends to be house by house, and a meter base torn off the wall is still dangerous after OG&E cuts the street, so keep clear and call.
Some homes built or added onto between 1965 and 1973 were wired with aluminum branch circuits, and a loose aluminum connection is a frequent cause of the warm outlet that prompts an evening call.
Summer heat is long and hard on outdoor equipment, and a disconnect or panel in direct sun wears out faster here than its rating suggests.
Call now if
- A burning smell near outlets, switches or the panel
- Visible sparking, arcing or scorch marks
- A shock from an appliance, switch, faucet or fixture
- Water reaching outlets, the panel or wiring
- A breaker that will not stay reset, or a panel that is hot to the touch
- Total power loss when neighboring homes still have power
Local pattern
What causes electrical emergencies in Oklahoma City?
Here, the weather, the age of the house and the grid decide what fails after dark, and the season decides which one you meet first.
A tornado or derecho tearing service drops and masts off whole rows of houses.
Ice storms bringing drops down, with outages that have lasted days.
Hail and lightning damage to rooftop and outdoor equipment, and surges into panels and air conditioning controls.
Air conditioning circuits, outdoor disconnects and older panels overheating in a long summer.
Aluminum branch wiring and undersized services in post-war neighborhoods, loose and hot at the connections.

What do I do
until help arrives?
If you can reach it safely, switch off the breaker feeding the affected area. That removes the immediate hazard in most situations.
Don't touch anything that's wet and electrical, and keep everyone away from water that may be in contact with power.
Smoke or a burning smell from a wall, ceiling or panel is a fire risk. Get out and call the fire department first, then call us.
Unplug appliances on the affected circuit so nothing restarts unexpectedly once power is restored.
Note what happened and when, and tell us on the call. It helps the electrician go straight to the likely fault.
