OG&E teams head to East Coast ahead of winter storm

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Dozens of OG&E teams will travel across the country to help restore power to some Americans amid a winter storm.

This weekend, a strong winter storm is forecast to make landfall on the East Coast.

The National Weather Service forecast heavy snow, hail, rain and frost for areas affected by the storm, which could include much of the East Coast.

Early Friday morning, a fleet of OG&E trucks, crew members, contractors and support personnel left Shawnee and headed for Virginia.

Officials said they expected 80 line recovery workers to arrive in Richmond, Virginia late Saturday.
