Strong, perhaps damaging, winds and heavy rain, could bring some disruption. Stay up to date as we firm up on the details in the next few days.

This hits different. In Norman, passed by the National Weather Center, where I studied for part of my MMet and PhD and learned so much. I wouldn’t be where I am without what I gained from my time and the people here.

@octopus.energy hello. Why is my smart display showing disconnected internet. Every time I reconnect it disconnects within the hour. Makes no difference if I place it right next to the router either. It’s not my internet causing the issue.
