As of Friday morning, about 232,000 electricity customers across Oklahoma still don't have power. I am one of them -- for the sixth day.

However, OG&E has made significant progress in the past day, taking us down to 50 percent of the outages initially reported at the started of the week. The challenge is today.

What will the weather do? That is the question.

We're looking at freezing rain in central Oklahoma late this afternoon with snow on top of it tonight and into Saturday. That's not the worst part, though.

The worst part is 25 mph winds, which will work to topple fragile limbs and poles, so folks who hadn't lost power in the past week still might. Those who had gotten their power back might lose it again. Not saying it will happen, but with those winds, with this weather, it's a possibility.

Nevertheless, I'm growing more confident in what OG&E is trying to accomplish because of the progress they've made relative to the expectations they set. They're on track.

However, frustration is still on the rise from those without power. And mind you, I'm one of them. But, I'm tellin' you: That's a conversation we need to have about our state's power infrastructure, and it's one for after the storm.

So, it's not like I'm not frustrated.

However, my frustration is certainly not with the effort. Not right now, at least. These guys at OG&E, at least, and with other utilities -- AT&T and Cox for example -- are busting their tails.

Fingers crossed.
