Hashtags welcome! Please consider using #BiCapitalization for compound words. It helps readability and helps text-to-speech.

This didn't get advertised very well, and announced with less than an hour's notice. There's a curfew in place for downtown Tulsa from 22:00-06:00 tonight and Friday night.

There are now only 44 PSO parcels without power. Looks like 11:30 PM was pretty accurate for getting this resolved, and almost everyone should have the lights, if not air, back on at this point.

About 6000 parcels, mostly in metro #Tulsa, are still without power. There are also smaller outages in #Grove and #Lawton now. ETA is still about 11:30PM.

There was a power surge in the transmission lines affecting Public Service Company of #Oklahoma. Currently affecting >19,000 households in #GreenCountry, and <5 in #Hydro.

PSO is expecting electricity service to be restored to all areas around 11:30 PM.

All of #Tulsa south of 51st Street lost power, PSO is aware.

OK, #Tulsa, the #MTTA's funding is on the line and we definitely need mass transit once the current trouble is over. Please contact the governor and your senator and congressman about funding public transportation.

If you're not sure if you should use a CW or not, use the CW. Think of it less as a trigger warning and more of a subject line.

This gives people the easy out for content they don't want to see for whatever reason. Common reasons to CW would be for boring, long, edgy or NSFW topics. Give people the easy out.

If you don't want to deal with the hassle of expanding CWs and want it all raw, check your settings under Preferences ➡️ Appearance ➡️ Sensitive Content ➡️ Always Expand Toots.
